Giuliani-Palin
Also, Swint, Governor Crist has some “issues” that will prevent him from being on a national ticket. But I agree he would be a good choice if that were not the case.

Pres. Romney
VP Barbour

Virginia’s Lt Gov is Bill Bolling, is Steel a former Lt. Gov?
November 21, 2007 at 8:47 am
President: Former TX congressman Dick Army
VP: Virginia Lt. Gov. Michael Steel
November 21, 2007 at 8:54 am
Hunter-Steele (I know, heresy on this place, but you asked for it)
November 21, 2007 at 9:18 am
Steele is the former Lt. Governor of Maryland. He is incredible. But I don’t know if he has had enough experience. I think he will run for Gov of MD in the next election against O’Malley
November 21, 2007 at 9:19 am
Gary,
Sarah Palin would be great too, I really like that idea.
November 21, 2007 at 9:20 am
Prez: Mitt
V-Prez: Either Huckabee or DeMint from South Carolina.
He needs someone the Christian right will be able to embrace.

1. Romney/Palin in a landslide.
We’ll get some of the girls who are voting for Hillary, just because she’s a woman (whether we want them or not), and a lot of the men who will never vote for a woman like Hillary Clinton.
2. Romney/Pence
3. Romney/DeMint
November 21, 2007 at 12:14 pm
President: Mitt Romney
Vice President: Newt Gingrich.
The pragmatic choices. Mitt has the guts and brains to handle the administration and all of the responsibilities thereto, and Newt has the inimitable political experience that would help to strengthen the foundation of the Presidency, as well as being fearless in speaking the absolute truth about any situation or subject that could affect our national security, among other things.
November 21, 2007 at 12:35 pm
President: Mitt Romney
Vice-President: I really have no idea? I would like a romney rudy ticket. those two would really give it to hillary and get a lot of people excited, but i doubt that will happen.
people always talk of needing to balance out the ticket. I don’t know if I agree with that.
I also would like to see some diversity on the ticket. Honestly though, I have no idea who romney picks? It is hard with him because the others running are too old to be vp. rudy or huck. well i think huck would be a disaster to any kind of conservative movement. I don’t want him. rudy is the only one of the candidates left.
so who else? no idea.
November 21, 2007 at 2:04 pm
I have always thought that Romney needs Huckabee on the ticket. I am open to the DeMint idea though.

November 21, 2007 at 2:24 pm
Romney/McCain
I would have said Romney/Huckabee; but he is probably the most likely to be behind the push polling.
November 21, 2007 at 2:24 pm
Romney and Newt
November 21, 2007 at 2:32 pm
I think the best VP should be one of the present candidates, at least for one good reason – they have been scrutinized already. An unknown is risky and to use an old adage, changing a horse in midstream can prove detrimental to Romney’s campaign. So I would go with Giuliani, also for the purpose of reaching across to the moderates and liberals. Giuliani is a good debater too. Huckabee should be good too.
November 21, 2007 at 2:41 pm
A few choices:
1. Romney/Haley Barbour – Barbour is a can-do guy
2. Romney/DeMint – although they’d hate to lose him in SC, and I’d hate to lose him in the Senate
3. Romney/Crist – some of us Floridians would LOVE to lose HIM, then we can have Jeff Kottkamp (our Lieutenant Gov). Crist won big in FL last Nov & he’d probably pull in some of the whack jobs in Palm Beach/Broward/Miami-Dade Counties, so FL would become a fairly safe bet for the GOP in ‘08

V.P. – Gen. David Petraeus
President: Romney
V.P. – CA Congressman Duncan Hunter
November 21, 2007 at 4:24 pm
Romney/Powell
November 21, 2007 at 4:36 pm
Romney/Thompson
I used to think Huckabee, until I found out how liberal he really is, and how he is determined to drag his religion into this race. Also, Thompson got the Right to Life Endorsement, and he’s a southerner, which is a good balance to Romney’s northern roots.
November 21, 2007 at 4:46 pm
Romney/DeMint
November 21, 2007 at 4:47 pm
Let’s consider a Republican Governor or Senator from a purple state that’s proven themselves popular with both sides:
1. Romney/Pawlenty (he single handedly bucked the prevailing winds this last election)
2. Romney/Crist (see Marybeth’s response)
3. Romney/Schwarzenegger (nice, but constitutionally impossible. Drat!)
So strike that last vote in lieu of a surreal out of the box moment:
3. Romney/Lieberman (eh?)
Before you laugh that off consider this: that’s why I like Romney. He surrounds himself with smart people of all political stripes, even ones that don’t always agree with him, and actually listens to them. You get better solutions that way and we will all get much better government with him in charge no matter who he picks as a running mate.
With that thought, let’s vote on his cabinet next. Now there’s something to get excited about.
November 21, 2007 at 4:48 pm
I guess the Paulites haven’t discovered this thread yet. LOL
November 21, 2007 at 4:49 pm
PS
I didn’t leave out Romney/Bush (Jeb, that is). I like that pairing, and I really like Jeb (lived in FL for 4 years), I’m just concerned that the country has Bush fatigue.
November 21, 2007 at 5:13 pm
President Mitt Romney
Vice President Mike Huckabee
Secretary of State Newt Gingrich
Secretary of Defense Duncan Hunter
November 21, 2007 at 5:38 pm
I like the sounds of a Romney Powell a lot. Interesting Mike. Will never happen but that would be a good ticket.
November 21, 2007 at 5:46 pm
Mitt Romney and Duncan Hunter
those two guys are the real patriots.
November 21, 2007 at 5:56 pm
President Mitt Romney
Vice President Condaleesa Rice
November 21, 2007 at 6:14 pm
Romney / Sarah Palin
I don’t think Romney will need Palin to get many of the women voters, I just think Palin would add to Romney’s message about cleaning up washington corruption and meaning something when you say you’ll bring change to washington.
November 21, 2007 at 6:37 pm
Mitt Romney/Tom Brady
November 21, 2007 at 6:42 pm
One other thought for VP – Marcia Blackburn, Congresscritter from Tennessee. A true conservative and charismatic GOP leader in the House of Rep.
November 21, 2007 at 6:42 pm
Ron Paul / Notch Ance
November 21, 2007 at 7:15 pm
President: Mitt Romney
Vice President: DeMint
It believe it would be advantageous for Romney to annouce his running mate before January 3. If it is going to be DeMint, that would skyrocket Romney’s ratings. And, would get MORE of the Southern vote, along with the Evangelical vote.
November 21, 2007 at 7:46 pm
Mitt Romney for President. J.C. Watts for Vice President.
November 21, 2007 at 8:19 pm
Mitt Romney-Pres.
Duncan Hunter-V.P.
November 21, 2007 at 8:35 pm
Romney/Patraeus
November 21, 2007 at 9:56 pm
DeMint, Palin, or any strong southerner is good. Jeb Bush is probably the most qualified in the family but the country has Bush fatigue and his presence would be a negative.
Not Huckabee, Rudy or Fred! Hunter belongs in the Cabinet.
November 21, 2007 at 10:46 pm
President: Ron Paul
Vice: Mitt Romney
November 21, 2007 at 11:39 pm
President: Mitt (duh!)
Veep: Jim DeMint or Matt Blunt (young Gov of MO . . . military experience, dad is congressman, swing state)
November 22, 2007 at 12:34 am
President: Mitt Romney
Veep : Duncan Hunter
(second choice, J.C. Watts)
November 22, 2007 at 5:08 am
#1:
President Mitt Romney
Vice President Jim DeMint
#2:
President Mitt Romney
Vice President Colin Powell
Remember: Very few combinations have ever won The White House without at least one (prez or veep) person from the South on the ticket. “Ain’t gonna happen without ‘em”
I realize Colin Powell is not from the South (originally) but his character, leadership, reputation, stature, etc. would have enormous appeal. His wife would never let it happen tho.

President: Duncan Hunter
VP: Michael Steele

POTUS–Romney
VP–DeMint No question
December 12, 2007 at 1:09 pm
[...] crazy thing is, I have always liked Mike. In fact, I said on this thread (in the comment section) that Mike would make a great vice president for Mitt, and I believed it. [...]
December 19, 2007 at 4:38 pm
Pres: Mitt Romney
V.P.: Duncan Hunter
That’s how I would vote if the election were today.
January 18, 2008 at 2:02 am
President- Mitt
VP- Condoleeza Rice
Not only has she been great in the white house, but she would help sway the female and black votes that would seemingly plague the dems.
February 8, 2008 at 11:49 pm
VP: Michael Steel, Brownback, or Huckabee
-Michael Steel would be a great contrast to Obama…
-Brownback is a trusted conservative who would pair well with McCain…
-Huckabee would help McCain with Southern voters
February 17, 2008 at 4:45 pm
With the race having unfolded the way it has, I would probably desire something like this…
POTUS- Mike Huckabee
VP- Michael Steel or Sam Brownback.
McCain just needs to enjoy his solidarity as a RINO in the senate.

Hi. I regularly be familiar with this forum. This is the oldest culture undisputed to ask a topic.
How numberless in this forum are references progressive behind, knavish users?
Can I depute all the facts that there is?

Nothing seems to be easier than seeing someone whom you can help but not helping.
I suggest we start giving it a try. Give love to the ones that need it.
God will appreciate it.
