Romney Won’t Rule Out Romney-Santorum Ticket

Apr 11, 2012 Romney Won’t Rule Out Romney-Santorum Ticket

WARWICK, R.I. – For the second time in as many days, Mitt Romney was quizzed about his potential vice presidential pick during a town hall and declined to rule out a possible Romney-Santorum ticket.

“Everybody is on my list,” said Romney in answer to a voter who asked whether he would consider former presidential candidate Rick Santorum as his running mate. “Everybody is on my list. I’m not taking anybody off the list, alright?”

But Romney quickly stopped himself – backtracking to say that there actually isn’t a list of potential vice presidential candidates. At least not yet.

“I actually don’t, I don’t have a list, yet,” said Romney. “So I can’t say someone is on or off my list.” “But I can tell you that the people who I had the privilege of running against would surely be among those I would consider,” said Romney.

“The criteria, I think, has to be, first and foremost, is this a person who could be president of the United States, if that were needed? And do people recognize that and see that as a person who has that kind of qualification and so he– I’ve said this before. If any of the people I ran against happened to become the nominee, I would have endorsed them and supported them for president.”

“So of course they’d be on that list — and he, among others,” Romney said of Santorum.

How magnanimous of Mr. Willard. (What kind of name is “Mitt” anyway? Sounds like a baseball glove.)

Exactly. If Santorum can swing either OH or PA in the red state column, Obama is toast and will energize Evangelical voters

I wouldn’t count on a sensible choice for VP with Romney. I have a hunch that many GOP-e types are convinced that McCain lost in 2008 because he didn’t go with a “safe” moderate, establishment choice. I anticipate an equally insipid GOP-e moderate or liberal VP choice for Romney.

Santorum, Rubio, West...there are quite a few good people he could call upon who would be helpful to his campaign.

Or maybe Huckabee, or McCain. The excitement is killing me!

Romney needs to carry some key mid-western states. Without OH its game over. He carried OH by under 1%. He won MI by a mere 3% points over Santorum. There’s a good chance that Santorum may bring PA into the red state column. Besides he needs to energize evangelical voters. But most important is that Santorum as VP will be a strong conservative counterbalance to Romney.

Allen West or Santorum would be excellent choices.

That would be as opposed to the execrable Marxist in the White House (the one who doesn’t pretend to be a Republican).

If I was Santrorum, I would take that as an insult. That would be the equivalent of being the assistant manager at a used car lot!

” - - - “Everybody is on my list,” said Romney - - - “

“You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.” Abraham Lincoln

Lemme see now, in order that would be RINOs, Democrats, and the owners of US Treasury Bonds when they try to cash them in.

BTW, what has Romney EVER done to reduce the size of ANY Government?
