According to this extremely exit poll of those who post here, here is what we are looking at, a combination of the following:
Pro Lifers
Frist
Romney
Santorum
Owens
Pro aborts
Giuliani
Rice
All in all, I am inclined to think that Romney brings the same strengths to the ticket as Giuliani. He puts MA and MI into play, though we would likely only take one of those. Giuliani puts NY into play.
Both have hold your nose factors, but it's different for Giuliani than for Romney. For Romney it's a religious test for evangelicals (I don't think the religious test is the same for Catholics). He passes (I believe) the pro life test.
Rudy fails the pro life test. That is a harder pill for religious conservatives to swallow.
I love Owens, but I think CO and that divorce hurt him.
I think I would like to amend my previous post. The ticket must be Romney/Santorum. They have the looks, the EV's and the conservative bona fides.
The D's are gonna crap.
Mitt Romney ran for governor in 2002 as a pro-choice candidate. He's in favor of the ban on partial-birth abortion, and maybe parental notification laws, but he's not a pro-lifer. Besides, he wouldn't be able to carry his home state of Massachusetts (and his other home state, Utah, is already in the bag).
Santorum is the man. He gets us Pennsylvania, keeps WV and OH safe, and helps us with Catholics in other swing states.
