Perry-Martinez 2012?
Weekly Standard ^ | 08/30/2011 | William Kristol

Posted on 08/30/2011 8:48:13 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Last week, the Almighty expressed His displeasure over Paul Ryan's decision not to run for president by sending us an earthquake and a storm. But Ryan still refuses to reconsider. So we at THE WEEKLY STANDARD have put dreams of Ryan-Rubio 2012 on hold, and have turned our attention to other possible GOP tickets.

As Michael Warren pointed out earlier today, Rick Perry now seems to be the Republican frontrunner. Who might his running mate be? Obvious possibilities are Ryan or Rubio—or Mitch Daniels (a successful Midwestern governor who's not part of the mess in D.C. but who could reassure some voters with his serious federal government experience). But this news story suggests someone else Perry would surely want to consider: New Mexico governor Susana Martinez.

No thanks. Do a little checking first before you disgrace the national ticket with the new Governor of New Mexico!

I hope Governor Perry tells Billy Kristol that not only is it premature, he doesn’t need, or want, his help in any hypothetical VP selection.

Come on out of the closet there Org. You may not be a Democrat Party operative by official registration but your postings show you to be a Democrat Party PR-bot in action.

Do not be stupid, we all know you thought the boner budget deal was wonderful, you think things will be wonderful if the republicans spend fifty cents less than the democrap. And if you wish to change this site to a GOP location, you need to run Jim off.

That would certainly help with the Hispanic vote and the GOP better get their ass in gear and realize that they are a demographic to be reckoned with. If you start off an election with 13% of the Population (Blacks) against you and another 16% (Hispanics) against you and another 17% (WHITE Liberals and Union Thugs combined).......you begin the race with a 46% deficit....

THAT’S A BIG OBSTACLE TO OVERCOME!!! Especially if you add in the high percentage of stupid and uninformed people in America.
