The main thing that worries me is Obamacare. I don't for a minute believe that Romney will do what needs to be done. It must be repealed. I don't think Santorum has the clout that will be needed to take on the rabid liberals that are all in for Obamacare. They and the mainstream media will eat his lunch. Newt has faced the liberal's machine before and won. He eats the mainstream news media for snacks. I can only hope that people wise up in time.
Just like the backstabber Romney, himiself.
The Romney deal is already sealed and it sealed me out.
Newt And Sarah Palin that will seal Romneys Doom,Just get the hell Out
By the way, do you like Romney because he is ineligible
or because he is FOR death panels?
Silly question.
Simple answer.
NONE.
Romney would still be the President and that is and should be unacceptable to a conservative. Doesn’t matter anyhow because Romney has ZERO ability to beat Obama. Its the old lesser of two evils situation. Basically what we had with McCain vs Obama. People are tired of that loser game and are just not voting. I will not vote if it is Obama vs Romney. My franchise is to important to me to use for a lesser of two evils or to use as a throw away vote.
Romney cannot beat Obama, so your question is of no interest.
Another strong possibility would be Jim Talent of Missouri. While he doesn't have executive experience in elected office, he's a long-time conservative favored by right-to-life and other conservative groups. Missouri is still a traditional battleground state even though the GOP has won this state for the past several elections. His weakness is that he has almost no private sector experience.
Bill Owens of Colorado is another possibility. He has executive experience in government as a two-term governor of Colorado. He spent a few years in the oil and gas business in Colorado. After the Columbine shooting, he resisted huge increases in gun laws. He has been on the Romney team for quite a while. Colorado is one of the states that the GOP needs to win in order to win the presidency. If he could deliver Colorado, his presence on the ticket would help a great deal.
Tim Pawlenty is a longshot possibility. In his run last year, he didn't connect well with the voters, and that lack of connection is not a good sign. However, he had built strong campaigns in Florida and Ohio. He has one of the best pro-life records of anyone in politics, and if people are willing to accept a pro-lifer who is nice and not nasty, his record should reassure those voters. He has good executive experience as a cost-cutting governor. He probably couldn't swing Minnesota into the GOP column, and the inability to swing any particular state might keep him off the ticket.
Obama/Romney
Romney will pick Obama as his running mate, They both win that way.
Vanity: None! (Are you a romney “floater”)? Floating ideas: because you can take one back to the ‘candidate’: Drop out.
Marco Rubio is inexperienced and unqualified to be VP. But Romney would probably choose him in a cynical attempt to pander to Hispanics. It wouldn’t work, though. Because to Hispanics outside the Cuban community, Rubio is just another rich white guy.
No ticket with Romney on it is acceptable. A 1st Romney term might as well be a 2nd Obama term.
Nothing- and I do mean absolutely Nothing can ever make me vote for Romney.
If ever a candidate has run a campaign in reverse (meaning every conceivable reason NOT to vote for them), it is him.
Is he as bad as 0? I just don’t know. *I* don’t trust him At All.
Can we afford to find out? No.
My humble (or not) opinion is that if there isn’t some way to have Newt as the nominee (preferably with Alan West, Paul Ryan, Rick Perry or Herman Cain as VP/ Santorum last), this country is in for a very hard time.
(I am new. :-) And probably lost. Can someone point me to the Newt ping list, please? And what is a ping anyway? I’ve been lurking for months, but haven’t managed to figure that out.)
