I think West would be a winner for Romney and a winner for America and a winner for freedom and liberty, not just in America but around the world. And it has f*-all to do with the pigmentation of his skin.

But Romney’s the wrong gender to call on West. Romney’s too much of a little girl.

I agree that it shouldn't. Let's not lie to ourselves though that his race is not relevant. And isn't perception everything these days in our modern day society? (or so we're told) How does "the perception" of a potential black VP play out? Just look at the perceptions shown with the mere mention of Rice's name.

Either way, he doesn't have hardly any political experience when we need just that. There are at least half a dozen or more experienced people who could fill the VP role from governors and former governors to Senators and Representatives (both present and former) with more than just one term under their belts.

Just my opinion.
