Now that presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney has chosen close adviser Beth Myers to head his vice-presidential selection team, the quadrennial parlor game of guessing who the likely nominee will pick for a running mate has officially begun.
While voters might not vote for a candidate because of the vice president, they rarely vote for a ticket because of the number two. Instead, the vice presidential choice is a tactical one and serves as a test of the nominee's decision making ability and a window into his thought process.
The candidate may wants someone who can shore up a policy weakness or add some geographic balance to the ticket. Sometimes, though less often than you might imagine, the running mate is chosen because he or she gels with the nominee.
While the Romney campaign says it is too early to talk about who will join the ticket, CBS News updated it compiled list of some of his possible choices, in alphabetical order.
Paul Ryan is a disgrace to politicians and to the American people in general. He has led the charge NOT TO vote for anything that will help us get out of this economical mess because he doesn't want Obama to get credit for it. All the Republicans are on board with that one, no matter how detrimental it is to us. Christy is too fat and too a raunchy to be VP. He has some skeletons in his closet as well as the Indiana Governor.
She is living in another universe. Women's rights and privacy are under constant attack by every republican governor and legislator. Perhaps if she took the time to listen to women, read a newspaper and watch some TV aside from the GOP mouthpiece FOX she would grasp what is really happening.
Wake up Nikki it's your gender under attack. Ordinary middle class and independent women know of this GOP affront to their dignity and they will vote!
All the poor starving Irish that fled oppression by the wealthy English, and now he has become what his ancestors ran away from. Way to go Paul, way to stand up for the least of our brother.
This guy is a mean spirited spoiled piece of garbage.
