Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsIf Santorum actually managed to be nominated who do you think he would pick as VP?
I think they might spew out a Santorum/Bachmann ticket:

KamaAina
(78,249 posts)the "native-born citizen" requirement applies to VP as well.
Come to think of it, that lets Jesus out, too. That and he was only 33 when he died.

(116,015 posts)Ricky, on the other hand, can hardly wait. While they are ideologically compatible on a number of other issues (notably, they are both anti-choice and hate government programs that help people), I can't imagine Icky Ricky selecting someone who doesn't have an itchy trigger finger.

I just grossed myself out a little bit.
FSogol
(45,598 posts)That's why Gingrich and Santorum aren't on the VA primary ballot.

(21,925 posts)He never made it out of third grade so he's no snob, although he did go fishing in a fancy ce-ment pond.

(2,899 posts)Because she is as wacko as he is. Also she obeys whichever male she is assigned to.
But there will be a bit of a dust-up when she turns out not to be the home grown all-American eastern Washington Orchard raised girl she has been telling everyone for all of her political life. She wasn't raised in the US at all...whoops... lol. She's been telling fibs in all her job applications.....The Washington State Voters Pamphlet.
McMorris Rodgers is a scum bag indeed.

Dokkie
(1,688 posts)or the Indiana gov guy. He has to neutralize his extremism with a moderate VP so no Bachmann or Cain or Gingrich
The Velveteen Ocelot
(116,015 posts)He's a true believer; he doesn't think he's an extremist. He'd pick somebody who's just as out there as he is because he thinks that's the way things ought to be. I doubt he'd compromise by choosing anyone who has the stink of moderation on them.
craigmatic
(4,510 posts)still likely Romney and he'll probably be pressured to pick Santorum. They compliment each other so well and represent 2 different factions of the repub party at odds with themselves.

(11,175 posts)I'd expect a current or former governor, Daniels or Barbour or some such. Not Jeb -- B-U-S-H is still a four-letter word to too many voters.
Chan790
(20,176 posts)It's likely that if Ricky LubricatedFecalDetritus pulls out the nomination, he's going to need someone else's delegates or a major endorsement. He's gonna have to trade away the VP slot and Cabinet seats to get it. Think The Ides of March.
My money is on someone not in the race that can deliver him both the nomination and possibly key-states in the GE.
Who?
No idea, it'll become more obvious as the race goes on.

(3,596 posts)Unfortunately he doesn't realize that the Constitution would never allow Bennie, a known Nazi sympathizer and likely child molester, to become President because he isn't an American citizen.
