Condoleezza Rice was actually Vetted for VP?

I just read that Condoleezza Rice was vetted for Romney's VP, but as we all know, she wasn't chosen. It's a little surprising considering the respect and power she still has.

But a few reasons has popped up on why she was passed up. RadarOnline has the scoop:

"Condi was fully vetted to become Mitt Romney's running mate and turned over financial records, including tax returns," a source close to Rice tells Radar.

"Mitt thought she would add much needed foreign policy experience to the ticket, thinks she is incredibly bright and he knew she would help with the all important female vote and African American support.

"However, Mitt's advisers talked him out of it because Condi is pro-choice and she isn't willing to change her position on the controversial issue. Condi also supports same sex civil unions which again, put her at odds with Romney. Mitt had a hard time getting the ultra conservative support of the GOP and was told if he picked Condi that would immediately be lost and so he ultimately picked Congressman Paul Ryan to be his running mate."

I think he missed a great opportunity, but oh well.

Mitt Romney is set to pick Paul Ryan as his VP

News is buzzing that Mittens will pick Paul "Demon Eyes" Ryan as his VP. If this is true, he will be losing the senior vote and the youth vote.

Plus, the pesky Ryan plan will be put on blast.

I'm sure the Obama team is doing the Electric Slide if this is the news.

Maggie Gallagher wants Mike Huckabee as Romney's VP

Lord, Maggie Mess thinks that Huckabee would be a great VP for Romney. I guess that old White image is needed in the GOP.

Here is why she thinks he's a winner

Huckabee fits the bill perfectly. He not a guy to scare anyone, he's run the presidential gauntlet and been fully vetted, and while a pleasant and interesting man, he is a familiar enough figure on the national scene not to outshine Mitt Romney with novelty.

Several others on the shortlist also satisfy these minimal requirements.
But Huckabee would do something else for Romney -- something I don't think any other person can do: shore up the evangelical base of the party and ignite genuine enthusiasm for getting Romney/Huckabee to the White House.

It's not just Huckabee's style or political positions that would do this. It's the relationship of trust and love he's built with evangelicals and connections to evangelicals across the country. He is beloved. He can motivate.

And Romney needs this.

Girl, that's not good enough, try again.

Is the Romney Camp looking at Michele Bachmann for VP?

Mitt's wife, Ann (I'm Rich, Bitch) Romney claims they are looking at a woman for a possible VP pick.

That's interesting considering this clip from Michele Bachmann

I hope they consider her. I hope she continues going to the press, because the more she speaks the more mess she creates. Go Michele!
