“Maybe” works. I second.

So far recently we’ve heard Marco Rubio (who I like) mentioned, but then in seeming flashback to Bush administration stupidity, continuing to hammer amnesty under another name.

Then (unbelievably) Huckabee. UGH NO.

Today Jindal. At least we’re making progress.

Romney needs to understand a lot of us out here in America understand competition. We recognize that winning, means making someone else lose.

No problem.

But it’s important to shake the hand of the ONE who actually was your competition.

Mr. Romney do the right thing.

Palin would energize even those, who loathe you right now.

Yes. Loathe.

Consider Palin.

There’s a reason, you went after her first.

She’s formidable.

And a whole lot of us out here, support her.

I was being a smart ass, but I agree with your analysis.

I don’t think she would accept, nor would it be offered, but the potential impact would be similar to 2008, and being “older and wiser” she would only accept if she had a completely free hand to do it her way (which is why I says Mitt would never make the offer). But if he were in deep trouble and losing the conservative base, what better VP candidate to secure it?

Palin might accept if she’d got her aim set on 2016 or 2020, as she’d still be young (mid 50s) enough and having served as VP would be a means to prove herself (although there aren’t many examples of VP stepping into the big chair). So “maybe” isn’t such a bad answer I guess.
