Is Mitt Romney waiting on the recall election in Wisconsin...?

...before he names his VP choice? Because he wants Scott Walker on the ticket as his VP?

After all, what person in America could he agree with more than Scott Walker?

Obviously, Mitt Romney does not care much for working people or unions and if he follows his heart, he will choose Governor Scott Walker as his running mate.

What better time than now to try and put the final nail in the coffin of the union movement in this country?

He won't name Walker because he will awaken a sleeping giant if he does.

Some of the country's biggest conservatives will descend upon President Barack Obama's adopted hometown of Chicago this summer -- including three of his former presidential opponents.

The American Conservative Union announced Thursday that former Pennsylvania senator and GOP presidential nominee Rick Santorum will headline the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) this year.

“During the Presidential primary, Senator Santorum was an outspoken advocate of reigning in our ever-expanding federal government and ensuring that the Constitutional rights of all Americans are protected,“ ACU Chairman Al Cardenas said in a statement. “We look forward to hosting Senator Santorum as part of our all-star lineup this summer at CPAC Chicago – the Midwest’s premier conservative gathering of 2012.”

CPAC Chicago 2012 will be held June 8 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Ill. Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul have also been invited to the convention, but have yet to confirm their attendance,

It was only a week or so ago that Mitt put a team together to do the vetting of possible picks.

I don't think we will hear who Mitts pick is until a week or two before the GOP convention.

See convention dates below:

August 27–30, 2012: 2012 Republican National Convention to be held in Tampa, Florida
September 3–6, 2012: 2012 Democratic National Convention to be held in Charlotte, North Carolina
