(2,667 posts)He doesn't want to be associated with a losing ticket, it will kill his chances for 2016 and he knows it.

It won't be him.

(9,569 posts)Don't think his abrasiveness would necessarily play well in the rest of the country. I could be wrong.
Portman--relatively unknown and uncontroversial. A safe bet after the Caribou Barbie gamble.

(19,458 posts)Romney choosing a lobbyist that is tied to some pretty awful people, would be stupid. But I still think Romney may choose him.
I would love Christie, he's a loose cannon, and he and Romney's anger issues would make quite a show. they could just scream at the audience, like Lewis Black, without the humor or wit.

(9,569 posts)He would not even win his home state. Of course Mittens is going to lose MA big time as well.
The only reason Christie is gov of NJ is the (sadly, true) corruption of Jon Corzine.

(3,109 posts)Romney needs someone who can help bring him a swing state. Even with Christie on the ballot, there is just not a prayer of Romney winning NJ.

(42,770 posts)that there would be no doubt the person could step in and become president. Utterly ignoring the fact
that he's not qualified himself
progressivebydesign
(19,458 posts)That's why I give him an equal chance with the others. Simply because you KNOW that the Koch brothers want that asshole. Stupid move on Romney's part, because he would be screwing the only base he has... the elderly.

(42,770 posts)him. I think he will go with what is mathematically important. He is supposed to be a supreme number cruncher...so I think I read that Portman gives the most bang for the buck, mathematically
Javaman
(62,968 posts)he will then fire all the other vp candidates, then outsource the actual job of being a vp to china.
veganlush
(2,049 posts)Being Bush's budget guy will hurt him , if at all

(28,158 posts)Oddly, the final deciding factor for me is how closed mouth he can be. I realizing more and more that's something Romney would demand in a running mate. For very good reason.

JohnnyRingo
(19,188 posts)The man is as forgettable as last Monday's lunch.
I'm from Ohio, I follow politics here like a religion, and I still can't tell you anything distinctive about the man at all. He blends into the wallpaper like a pin striped shirt. He'll make Romney look fresh and exciting while offering up his own background bland as a vanilla shake.
Nobody hates vanilla shakes though.

(20,805 posts)...wow, this could be worse for the gop than Dole/Can't Remember in '96

(13,340 posts)..but I think it'll be Ryan in an attempt to fire up the base, who are frankly, quite lukewarm on ole Mittens. But Ryan will be a godsend for our side.....
