Confidence by conservatives (in Romney) already teeter-totters on the “anybody but Obama” precipice, but if he doesn’t pick a strong conservative for VP, I’m afraid he’s wasted a lot of doners’ money as patriots will just remove the clothespins from their noses and stay home on election.
As Romney seems determined to morph into John McCain, coupled with the vote “engineering” of the Obama crowd, we’ll have a front row seat to the demise of America.
Romney is not a fighter. He doesn’t have the savvy to keep an ace up his sleeve.
IMHO, he can overcome the Bain Capital thing, and the tax return reluctance, but the wrong choice for VP will do him in.
Col. West for VP would be a master stroke, but I won’t hold my breath, because West is not a RINO.
It won’t be West. 100% certain.
Conservatives would love West, BUT he would be lightning rod for the press and liberals in the same way Palin was. The press would build up a series of fabricated/semi-true stories about West that would (as they did with Palin) become a story on their own and distract from the core issues of the campaign (jobs, jobs, jobs).
Romney will NOT pick someone that overshadows him or becomes a press story of his own. It won’t be West.
Allen West would be great! They rarely mention him as a choice even on Fox News.
