2. Chubby has repeatedly said he doesn't want it and seemed awfully serious when he said it

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

[TheCowsCameHome]

3. I doubt he could keep up with the physical pace

of campaigning and being a vice president.

It won't be him.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

11. also knowing how nit-picky anal Robme is, Christie's weight probably disgusts him. nt

[Freddie]

4. I'd be surprised

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.

[progressivebydesign]

21. Oh Portman will be controversial. He was a lobbyist for Dictators.

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.

[greatauntoftriplets]

5. He's from another Atlantic seaboard state and brings nothing unique to the ticket.

Now that's not necessarily a bad thing.

[Freddie]

6. Plus NJ is solid blue

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.

[morningfog]

9. Christie isgoing to be keynote speaker, I think. Not veep.

[SteveG]

19. Not a chance it will be Christie

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.

7. ryan. n/t

[Laura PourMeADrink]

12. the only thing about Ryan is, is that he is so young. Robme has repeatedly talked about

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]

22. Ryan would certainly be an ROI for the Koch Brothers and tea party investors in Robme.

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.

[Javaman]

8. Other: it will be someone that won't shadow his massive narcissistic ego. nt

[Laura PourMeADrink]

13. well, isn't Christie the only one who could do that, no pun intended?

[Javaman]

15. Pawlenty. He's about as exciting as watching paint dry. nt

[Laura PourMeADrink]

16. I was just thinking...since he is so egotistical, he probably doesn't think anyone could overshadow

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]

17. or

he will then fire all the other vp candidates, then outsource the actual job of being a vp to china.

[veganlush]

34. i wonder how much

Being Bush's budget guy will hurt him , if at all

[HopeHoops]

10. Bucky the Robot from the comic strip "Brewster Rocket" - hey, he was Intergalactic President!

[ananda]

14. Romney's veep will be..

.. whoever will accept the job..

and that will clearly be scum from
the bottom of the Reep barrel.

[Motown_Johnny]

18. I plan on winning those puppies

and am sticking with Portman

[Uncle Joe]

20. Romney will pick

Santorum.

Thanks for the thread, Laura PourMeADrink.

[Casandia]

24. Rick Snyder - Gov of Michigan

Wish there was a button to vote for this creep

[Lone_Star_Dem]

25. I've been back and forth on this one. My final guess is back to it being Portman.

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.

[demwing]

26. I stand my ground - Kay Bailey Hutchinson

she's my high odds low risk prediction.

[JohnnyRingo]

27. Portman is the "do no harm" candidate.

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.

[FSogol]

28. VA Gov Bob McDonnell.

[chknltl]

29. Huckabee

Longshot? But if right chknltl, gains mass crowing rights

[KamaAina]

30. No Tejana Susana?

NM gov

Or Sandoval of NV?

[Doc_Technical]

31. Rafalca

n/t

[truebrit71]

32. The teahadists want Ryan, but I think it'll be Portman for the ultimate 'Bland and Blander' ticket..

...wow, this could be worse for the gop than Dole/Can't Remember in '96

[Adrahil]

33. I think any of the top choices is pretty good for us...

..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.....
