In reply to the discussion: Could This Woman Be On Mitt Romney's V.P. Shortlist? [View all]nc4bo

no offense to this woman but...
But there are actually some compelling reasons why Romney might be considering Bondi for his No. 2 spot. And given that everything anyone writes about the VP process so far is only speculation, we might as well have some fun.
Here's why Bondi might be on Romney's shortlist:
She's a woman. And she's young. While the Romney campaign is said to be looking for experience and gravitas, there are obvious demographic advantages to picking someone who can appeal to women and young people.
She's from Florida. Bondi could give Romney a much-needed advantage in the crucial swing state.
She tried to take down Obamacare and almost won. Bondi was the lead attorney general in the lawsuit to overturn the Affordable Care Act. With her as VP, Romney would have one less problem to deal with.
She's really pretty.

Yea we got all the reasons why he's floating her but this will not fly for the majority of Americans.
This campaign is like witnessing a train wreck.

We can't stand her in Florida. Amazing that she would even be considered. nt

If Romney chooses Pam Bondi I will lay an unobtainium egg with unicorn fur stripes.
