The Hill ^ | May 20 2012 | The Hill

Jeb Bush’s name keeps floating up in discussions about candidates to run on the ticket with Mitt Romney, despite Bush’s efforts to douse the talk.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) says Bush would most help Romney.

“He’d be an outstanding pick. It’s up to Gov. Romney but if I had to recommend a single person it would be Jeb,” Graham told The Hill.

The Best running mate for Romney would be Hillary Clinton, because that way there would never be any lack of unity over policy.

Pardon me, but why do we care What Goober Lindsey thinks about anything ? I heard he is going to be a bridesmaid in Bawney Fwanks nuptuals—doesn’t he need to get fitted for his dress or something ?? Shut Up and Sit Down girly boy..

He should pick Jeb if he wants to lose. The Bush name is mud.

I can just barely bring myself to vote for Romney because of the fear of sitting home pouting and pretending I’m ‘sending a message to the GOP’ and by doing so, helping the Marxist Obama secure another destructive four years in the White House. If Romney is tone-deaf enough to stick his finger in the eyes of conservatives by choosing Jeb Bush for his VP in the hope of securing Florida votes, I may just vote for an independent candidate. I would definitely change my voter registration from Republican to independent because the GOP would have totally abandoned me and done so with the arrogance only a corrupt political party can muster.

The best running mate for Romney would be one without any vision of ever becoming POTUS.

"Jeb Bush is best possible pick to be Romney’s running mate "

I believe that there is a typo in that. Left out an 'R' in the 6th word.

Seems consistent with everything else Graham has said and done in his career.

Do libs have as much trouble with DINOs(Democrats in name only) as we conservatives have with RINOs?

True enough. Romney is a career killer.

The GOP HAS abandoned you already, Jim, in case you haven’t noticed...unless of course, you are into RINOs, RNC good ol’boys(wink, wink) and abhorrence of all things conservative.

Doesn’t matter who Mittens picks as his running mate. They’re no longer the Grand Old Party of yesterday.. but rather have sold their souls, embracing linguine spined moderates like Mittens.

I’m surprised that Little Lindsey didn’t say that Barney Frank was free—so why not nominate him as Veep for balance.

But seriously, does ANYBODY actually care what this little twerp says?

Pansey Grahamnesty is our biggest humiliation since losing to Sherman.

I bet that is the only time in history that you and I ever have or ever will agree with something Jesse Jackson said.

I don’t take advice from a RINO about a Globalist.

I said this a few days ago: It would not surprise me if Jeb were to be pushed down our necks.

I thought Graham was a resident of Fire Island.
