CONTEST: Take a guess who Romney's running mate will be.

[Danno 1,228]

I'll throw out who I think it will be and who it should be (one in the same).

PAUL RYAN

The winner will get a $5. coupon from me to Chick-fil-a or Ben & Jerry's. (which ever one you choose).

First one to guess correct wins.

That would be awesome.

i pick the fella in florida..

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

It SHOULD be batshite crazy Ms. Bachmann. What a ticket that would be.

[웃 910]

I am thinking Portman, Christie, or Rubio.

And I think he'll have to go with the most appealing of the three. The one that can bring some energy to the ticket. And that is Christie.

Rubio would split the hispanic vote, causing problems for Mr. Obama.

That would be a good thing, IMO.

I don't see a Romney/Christie ticket. Rubio might help with FL but not much else - and I say might because the greatest pull Rubio would offer would the on the Cuban-American vote which largely goes Republican anyways. Portman - that I can see. It would make sense. There was a thread the other day making the Portman case and I thought it was quite convincing.

Don't forget ####### Cheney or Dan Quail

I'm going to be really surprised if it's not Portman. Romney needs two of the three states he's currently trailing badly in, Portman could help very much in getting Ohio.

Kelly Ayotte

because nothing says success like an all new england ticket

runner up choice would be condi rice. romney must reduce obama's lead among women. ohio is winnable without portman.

Condi Rice isn't even an option. She's made it pretty clear she's not interested one single bit. And good for her. Her talents were wasted in government anyway.

Any of the toss-up states is winnable for Romney, but Portman would be a nice shortcut for him.

Yeah but she can always trot out the old "i was asked to serve and i never say no" #######.
