I am sure that Romney would be happy and work well with just about any democrat.

Yeah, well it is personal with these toll projects. Kaine was worthless and got nothing accomplished. Wilder never reall did anything that personally affected me in this maner. Don’t fall for it. None of these tunnel/toll projects were ever intended to address congestion. At it’s core, this is an AUSTERITY MEASURE by VDOT on our backs. In the Midtown/Downtown Tunnel project, they’re forcing commuters to pay for their past financial mismanagement. When ERC (private company) assumes the maintenance & operation costs for the tunnels, VDOT will save millions a year in current maintenance costs, A BILLION in interest over the term of the plan, and many millions more in payroll and other operating costs. It will cost us $21 BILLION in tolls to make this happen, and they’ll keep charging us the same taxes, free to spend their savings on the Coalfields Expressway or anywhere else in the state, or even on another PPP giveaway.

Anyway, I don't think we have much to worry about. We are going to get a double down on Mormonism. Birds of a feather:

Hillarys available.................................... That’s a guaranteed win for Romney! But it won’t happen. If he is looking for all around support, pick West and make it a good fight.

West would be a good choice for who and what he is, but not for being black because IMO he would not pick up one additional black vote.

West would be forced to spend his time on the campaign trail answering questions about why he would run with somebody whose religion despised blacks until a revelation in the 1970s.

Why not Newt? His baggage has been discussed at length. What else can they say about him?

the eloquent Sen. Marco Rubio, has reiterated his unwillingness to run. So has New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez.

Bull crap. As Larry Sabato said, they all say that. But, when offered, they accept in a heartbeat. When was the last time anyone on here knew of someone turning down the VP spot?

Out of the 4 “double-vanilla” possible VP picks (Ryan, Portman, Daniels and McDonnell, my first pick would be Ryan. My second pick would be Portman. I don’t see how the other two would be a big help to the Ticket; seriously.

Thaddeus McCotter is brilliant and has a “gift” of wit like Ronald Reagan. Not so sure he would “carry the day” so to speak. He’s very unknown. But, IF Thaddeus McCotter was the VP choice for the Ticket, I’D BE AS HAPPY AS BARNEY FRANK AT THE YMCA.

If Romney is smart, he will NOT go “double-vanilla” on his VP selection. If he is smart, he will choose...... a woman.....who is black.... with a Hispanic surname.... who is of the Jewish Faith.... but, her Mexican husband is a Catholic and ...... her Baptist son is married to an Oriental chick..... and her daughter is a lesbian.
Hell yeah; that’s the Ticket. Did I cover all the bases?

IMO he (West) would not pick up one additional black vote. ______________________________________________________________ I hope, you don't mind me disagreeing with you my friend. But, I say West would take at least 10 - 15 percent of the Black vote away from Obama. There are a lot of Blacks who are pissed, big-time, at Obama because he has NOT delivered for the Brothas the way they thought he would. I met a young Black man the other day at the VA and he was "scorched drawers" mad at Obama and the shape the country is in. He said he was voting Republican this year. If West is in the VP slot, they could vote for the GOP Ticket and not feel like they had "abandoned" their Race because they are still voting for a Black man.

To: Kaslin
You can't really say that Ryan "win(s) big in Waukesha County" - He only represents a small portion of Waukesha County, most of which is in Sensenbrenner's district. Ryan represents the First Congressional district, the southeast corner of the state, which includes Racine, Kenosha, Walworth, and Rock counties, and tiny slivers of Milwaukee and Waukesha.
