That red meat is none other than the Right Honorable Allen West who could be Romney’s own “official Obama criticizer” ala Limbaugh’s Bo Snerdley; and, Allen West serves lots of red meat and can get away with it because he is a loyal Amercan and has 100% slave blood.
Allen West has no coattails beyond a tiny group on the far Right. Give him a few more years before expecting much. First job is to get him re-elected.
Romney will likely appoint someone from a big, toss-up state.
It would be very interesting for Mitt to toss the choice into the convention. We could watch some good, old fashioned, wheeling and dealing.
