Now that the GOP presidential primaries effectively are over, it's on to Tampa for Mitt Romney and the Republicans. The only question up for grabs now is, who will the presumptive nominee select as his running mate? My pick is Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, but more about that later.
Geography and ideology have played important, but not always critical, roles in naming vice presidential running mates. It didn't matter much to George W. Bush that his pick, former Defense Secretary Dick Cheney, was from Wyoming. Ditto for Barack Obama. He chose the Senate's Foreign Relations Committee chair Joe Biden of Delaware. What Bush and Obama each needed most was a Washington insider on the ticket. I'm sure going rogue, as former GOP running mate Sarah Palin is fond of saying, never crossed their minds

If that is the case I WILL NOT VOTE IN THIS ELECTION. Don’t care what people say.
Maybe the writer thinks it will help Maobama win re-election by an even bigger margin?
Well that’s one way of getting rid of him. Romney won’t win anyway and he can take Twinkie down with him.
Death Knell, for sure.
as God is my witness, I'll never vote conservative again!!
Painful...
Do it, young Romney! Pick Graham as your running mate, and your journey to the Dark Side will be complete.
We already had a gay president. He was an abject disaster. So bad that the present guy in office is still only the second worst president in U.S. history. But he's moving toward the #1 spot.
Lindseed would amount to a breathtaking fail.
This stuff is funny.
Seek a viable 3rd party candidate....a true conservative and rally behind him.
There's no....absolutely no way I will ever vote for a ticket with that wussie rino Graham...now way!
1) Nikki Haley
2) Paul Ryan
3) Marco Rubio
Romney/Graham would be a perfect match. Would send the GOP straight to hell in one election cycle. GOP, RIP.
Who cares what this clown thinks?
Ain't gonna happen. Romney is no prize, but he isn't this stupid.
Great, an all Dem ticket.
Nikki Haley-— Scandal
Marco Rubio-— Scandal and we need every Senator we can get
Paul Ryan-— Would overshadow Romney and is a lightning rod... He won’t be picked.
Romney will pick a moderate minority woman. Rice and Martinez come to mind.
What a train wreck.
LOL! Ambiguously Gay Duo for sure! Graham is the most FLAMING FEM I’ve ever heard. I can’t STAND that emasculated p_ssy!
