Could David Koch be Romney's VP?

With reading this article:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1014188838


And remembering reading that David did run as the Libertarian Vice Presidential candidate in 1980.

And remember it was half joke/half reality that Cheney became Bush's VP so HE could actually run the country.


Romney could be David's Koch White House puppet. The brother's are spending something like $400 million to get Romney in the White House. How unreasonable is it to think that David Koch would want that title he tried for in 1980.

It is not outside the real of possibility for that to happen. However, it will probably magnify the tax issue currently plaguing Rmoney and I do believe that David Koch will event quadruple-down on his refusal to release his tax returns.

probable that David Koch could be his VP pick. The Koch brothers already own and run Kansas, and just pushed the state even farther rightward after the recent R primary.

5. I don't think that either of the Koch brothers wants that kind of attention.

It's easier for them to pull strings from behind the curtain. One of them becoming the Republican VP nominee would draw to much public attention, and there are too many skeletons in that closet.
