Is A Romney/Santorum Ticket Likely? Do You Think It Would Be Good Or Bad For Obama?

[AzDar]

Well, what do you think?

[cthulu2016]

1. Yes, likely. Average for Obama.

I think the trade-off between Santorum being crazy and his bible-appeal makes that an average Romney ticket.

We always knew it would be Romney and some holy-joe or another.

Santorum has some rhetorical baggage but to RW Chrstians he is very likable... more so than most.

Yesh. Average ticket. Not good or bad.

6. This ticket worries me the most, I think. Seems the biggest complaint Repubs have with Der Mittster

is his lack of 'true conservative ' bona fides. I think the addition of Santorum might go a long way in alleviating those fears...

2. No. Romney/Rubio is better balanced.

13. Rubio has a rath of ethical problems.

Once Rubio is under a spotlight, those problems will come to light.

3. I think Santorum will crash and burn before Romney gets around to tapping his running mate

4. I think it would solidify the religous right and the middle-right

This would make the fight in November a little harder but we can expect a hard fight since Obama is vulnerable due to the economy. I think the Blue tendency will win in the end but it will be closer than any of us will be comfortable with.

I mean honestly a large percentage of the American people are deeply confused. Those on the right are really grasping and have no idea what to grasp at.

5. I think Santorum is too crazy even for Mitt.

As a so-called "moderate" Mitt is going to need someone teabaggers love to balance his ticket, but Santorum is just too far off the deep end for Mitts' tastes -- and for the average Americans tastes.

I think it's going to be SC governor Nikki Haley(who teabaggers love and who hasn't revealed her craziness yet).

7. Are you talking about santorum behind Romney? Seems messy to me. n/t

8. It will be Romney and Rubio. Rubio is from Florida, a major electoral state, and he's a fave of the

T-baggers. Santorum, also from a major electoral state, lost his senate re-election bid in '06 and probably couldn't carry the state were he on the ticket w/Romney.

9. I think Santorum/Gingrich is more likely.

Or Santorum/SomebodyElse, explicitly backed by Gingrich to fuck over Romney.

11. we do not have this in the bag--a unitied republican party is not good

all santorum jokes aside--there are enough fools to vote them in.

[Rowdyboy]

12. Romney needs a southerner on his ticket....the old confederacy is the new Rethug base....

Barbour, Rubio or McDonnell, maybe Haley or Jindal

[BlueIris]

14. Since Romney is the only one who will lose to Obama, I wouldn't care who his VP pick was.

Forge ahead, Mittens. You are one of the only ways for my party to keep its hold on the WH.
