Condoleeza Rice isn’t a conservative. At all.

And Palin is. You’re a noob, and I was curious at your choice of Rice over Palin, so I checked your posting history. The very first comment after the one on this thread is odd, are you a member of Romney’s team or something? You sound like a girl crying at a Beatles’ concert in the mid 1960s.


It will be changed overnight.

With a Romney vicory, on the morning of November 7th, there will be a new dawn. A new hope, and American companies will start to hire again because they know they will not be prosecuted for being successful.

He won't pick Palin for a number of reasons. First and foremost, she was on the losing ticket last time around. Second, Alaska's not a player. Third, though loved by the conservative base, she'll cost far more in moderate votes - because the media has established her mainstream personna as a stupid nut. Moderates are, by definition, not very concerned with politics, so they'll just accept the default portrayal and never bother to learn more about the actual person. SNL, John Stewart, and the NY Times all agree what she is, and that's good enough for the dopes to believe it true.

Christie's a northeast liberal - a non-starter with a liberal northeaster on top of the ticket. His appearance is also a negative, and sissies don't like his combatative nature - picking on poor old Joe Biden in the debate!

He won't pick any of the outliers, because Romney don't gamble. He'll somebody fairly well known and considered a realistic and logical choice. Plus, he'll need to shellac himself with some conservative veneer. So my bet is Paul Ryan.

I would hope for Palin as well but somehow I don’t think she would want to be on the ticket.

None of the other names mentioned turn me on. Walker wouldn’t give up the governorship after this recall. Maybe Rand Paul.

I’ve been coming to this site for 4 years. Do I post every day? No, but I’m no newb.

Palin has very little respect with the powers that be within the Republican party. She has some conservative principles, but she does not have the skills to handle the big time. She is nothing but a laughing stock and should have never been placed in the national spotlight.

With Condi, I trust her to be able to handle whatever crap questions that’s going to come from the mainstream media. She’s not going to have to write on her hand with a Sharpie to remember some bullet points.

If you guys keep on backing weak-minded individuals, the Republican Party is in trouble. We need real leaders, serious leaders, not cheerleaders.

Romney can not win without the support of the Paulistinians.
Period.

You’re saying Palin is “weakminded”? Rice is not conservative.

The fact that Palin is not an establishment GOP insider elite is one of her best features.

“The dark horse pick is New Mexico governor Susana Martinez.”

I think a female would guarantee a Romney win (for the same reason some feel Obama has to replace Biden with Clinton, or any other female for that matter). We’ve become a nation of tokens & quotas (as evidenced by the 2008 election), and there are no longer a sufficient number of Anglo men to determine the presidency alone.

Sorry, Condi makes Romney look conservative. Do not want. A pro-abortion RINO who stinks of George Bush? I can’t think of a worse pick and I don’t think Romney is that dim.

As to Palin, not getting into your low opinion of her, that’s a non-starter. I can neither imagine her being chosen or wanting to be chosen.

When will people realize that putting Rubio or Jindal on the ticket is sure to ignite an ‘eligibility’ dilemma for the ticket. Republicans must stay away from giving Obama wiggle room for his own eligibility problems. I would hope Rubio and Jindal recognize the seriousness of the controversies about everyone’s eligibility.

Palin vs Condi for Romney VP. This sounds like a useless exchange of words.
