Romney already reveals short list for VP choices

[Hawaii Hiker]

I guess the arrogant fuck is going to skip the primaries and go right to the general election...Romney lists Bob McDonnell (R-VA), Chris Christie (R-NJ), & Marco Rubio (R-FL)...Talk about the 3 fucking stooges...

1. What no Bachman.

[no_hypocrisy]

2. He can't use Chris Christie as Romney already represents the Northeast region.

He needs someone from the South or the West.

[Kaleva]

3. I don't think that's as important as it used to be.

[no_hypocrisy]

4. Christie's act is so "Jersey", I'm not certain it will play in Phoenix, Omaha, or Santa Clara.

[blueclown]

7. It doesn't even play well in New Jersey...

[Hawaii Hiker]

18. By comparsion, candiate Barack Obama didn't talk about

possible VP's until he first defeated Hillary Clinton for the nomination...And even then, Obama waited til late August 2008 to formally announce Joe Biden..

To your point, Romney represents the Northeast region, and the ONLY northeastern state he "might" win is New Hampshire....There is no way New Jersey would be in play anyway, with or without Christie....And the rest of the NE and New England will stay blue....

5. Four asswipes who should never be President. n/t

[grantcart]

6. An absolute amateur move

Further proof that he will never get the nomination.

He makes 3 people who he doesn't need happy and pisses off and helps unify all of his rivals.

Is this this guy's first campaign?

[yellowcanine]

8. This is a HUGH mistake. Did he even ask them if they want to be on his "short list"?

If not it could get pretty funny when they start saying "no thanks."

Plus it unnecessarily pisses off people who might think they should be on his list.
And what if none of them works out? Everyone will know that anyone else was at least 4th choice.
Way to go Mittens!

[Enrique]

9. purely a poll-driven move

he's just linking himself to some popular figures in the GOP.

[Wait Wut]

10. Awesome!!!

This should take his poll numbers down a notch or two!! I think he should run with Palin. "Running with Palin"...the miniseries. :rofl:

[flamingdem]

11. Bachmann for President!!! nt

[Yavin4]

12. It Will Be Rubio

McDonnell would be like his twin. Chris Christie doesn't want it.

It's Rubio all the way.

[Ter]

13. Do the birthers hate him too?

After all, BOTH his parents were born in Cuba!

[Yavin4]

14. He's A Tea Party Rock Star

And maybe he can chip into the Latino vote.

[Ter]

15. I agree with your second part

But disagree with your first. He's been weak on Tea since being elected. Mike Lee and Rand Paul are much to the Tea of Rubio. Many call him a Teo-Con. That's Bush/Cheney neo-con masquerading as a Tea Bagger.

[tallahasseedem]

16. How about, "No one" and "Who gives a shit?"

He's not going to be the nominee anyway.

[Morizovich]

17. Ann Coulter isn't on the list?

Well I am shocked!

[Jello Biafra]

19. Are any of these asswipes related to British Nobility?

Can't win otherwise........

[flamingdem]

20. Jello I love your band

or your DU name, both are da bomb

welcome to DU!

21. I've had a wild, for no reason whatsoever hunch that the GOP ticket will be Romney/Cain...

I think Romney/Rubio would be the toughest to beat of those mentioned in the OP...

[jamieque]

22. Ha ha ha.... It doesn't matter who Romney ends up running with...

He isn't going to win. In fact none of the Republicans will win. Considering the wound they are currently inflicting on themselves by trying to fuck all of us over.... Please! Barack will crush them all with very little effort. People tend to underestimate the president. He isn't Bush Jr. He is much smarter then people tend to think he is. That is why when all this debt ceiling crap is over and done with he'll be fine while the Republicans will be counting their casualties on the field. Greedy people don't need help destroying themselves... They do the deed just find themselves.

[Joe Bacon]

23. It will be a Jeb Bush/Haley ticket.

I've said all along that the Republicans will draft Jeb Bush. I fully expect to see a Bush/Haley ticket.

[Mimosa]

24. OMG and ICK and *SHUDDER* n/t

[Tx4obama]

25. Romney's short-list is great because ....

with that list (of three) he will not get one single vote from the Palin-Bachmann-Cain followers :)

Palin's fans have already said that the only folks they will vote for are Palin or Bachmann or Cain - and tons of them have said that they will do a 'write-in' if their folks aren't the nominee.

So, Romney can kiss all of the Palin, Bachmann, and Cain BOTS support/votes goodbye :)



p.s. Just my observation from perusing the Palin pages over the past few months.
