Should Romney pick Scott Walker for VP?

Posted on 06/05/2012 9:03:11 PM PDT by Arthurio

Should Romney pick Scott Walker for VP?

With such a move, Romney could put WI in his column, and help him in other working class states like Ohio and Penn.

Not to mention that it will make the prospect of voting for Romney more palatable for conservatives!

I cannot see any downsides. What am I missing here?

NO,NO, NO, do not curse Walker for his success. Romney is a liberal.

No, Walker was pretty lucky to survive this, and it was largely because people thought the recall itself was an overstep. His being on the ballot would not help defeat Obama at all.

No. leave him in Wisconsin to stay the course this time around. I like him, but I would rather have a more potent and nationally known Conservative keeping an eye on Mittens.

Now, when 2016 rolls around... we’ll see.

Wisconsin is working fine for us now. Don’t rock that boat.

No, Walker should not be tainted by anything Romney.

Absolutely Not!!!!!

Don’t tie him to Romney. Allow him to get Wisconsin fully on track. Then he will have an undeniable record to take to the presidency. After surviving the recall, then abandoning the state, it would be a huge turn off.

NO! Walker was shown a vote of extreme confidence by the Wisconsin citizens. Let him finish the job that he was elected to. Twice.

VP this time is a no brainer. It is the Cuban-American Senator from Florida.

Romney and his team loathed Palin. Walker is at least as conservative as Palin if not more so. It would be a brilliant move for Romney to pick Walker. But his ego and leftism couldn't handle it. Romney is not good enough to share the same ticket with him.

We need for Walker’s policies in Wisky to bear fruit and show the rest of the country that without a doubt, his policies are good for the economy....if that happens, he will be unstoppable in 2016.

Well, it would cost Wisconsin a good governor.

In one word, "no."

Let Walker finish what he's started. He barely has had time to work to improve WI. Let him become more popular and tested.

Don't send him into obscurity either on a losing ticket or standing behind and getting blamed for Romney's missteps as surely he's bound to do.

NO, I’m not voting for the UNborn baby killer. I have to stand before my GOD and explain why I drank the former grand old party’s koolaid, which is as bad as the DEMONCRARTS koolaid, lesser of 2 evils is still and Evil. Our Founding Fathers are turning over in their graves at what we are doing to the REPUBLIC they gave us, giving it to socialist and marxist.
