(AP) ASPEN, Colo. - Mitt Romney is campaigning in Colorado alongside some the Republican Party's rising stars. And a few of them are thought to be potential running mates for the presidential candidate.

Romney says he's looking forward to working with GOP governors like Chris Christie of New Jersey, Nikki Haley of South Carolina and Virginia's Bob McDonnell.

Those governors and others joined Romney at a rally Thursday in Aspen, where the Republican Governors Association is meeting.

Other attendees include Govs. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana and Susana Martinez of New Mexico.

Romney is expected to announce his running mate any day.

Haley says she'll fight to get Romney elected. Christie says Romney's a better leader than President Barack Obama. And McDonnell says Romney is focused on the middle class.

I still don't understand why Christie keeps taking his jacket off. He looks like a cow with a belt on.

FREE GWB!


Why is the GOP keeping it's "Big Gun" locked up in the chicken coop behind the barn?

I want to see George W Bush released from GOP prison and start campaigning for Romney.

I think it would be very beneficial to hear GWB remind us all of how great Bush's trickle down economic plan, er...Romney's trickle down economic plan...err, the same plan, worked before...err..will work again.

Bill Clinton is coming out to the Dems' party. No Fear Bill and no shame for the Dems. They are proud of Bill and can't wait to let him off the chain.

Anyone at the GOP want to comment on that?

Where's the GOP love and respect for their main man, GWB?

So I say again!

FREE GWB!

What did Babs say in the film "Animal House"...."a wimp & a blimp!!!"??!!

The republican'ts want a uniform government itching - hungering - to dismantle the entire fabric of federal social programs like Medicare, Social Security, unemployment insurance, workers' compensation, minimum wage, Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., the graduated income tax and consumer protections like the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Food and Drug Administration.

These savings can then be passed along to the 1% in the form of tax cuts.
