I thought that the Ryan pick was a curious one for Romney, but I didn’t anticipate this much apprehension in the GOP ranks. From Politico: Away from the cameras, and with all the usual assurances that people aren’t being quoted by name, there is an unmistakable consensus among Republican operatives in Washington: Romney has taken [...]
UPDATE: It’s Ryan. Multiple sources are confirming it. And Mitt Romney is advertising on the “Paul Ryan” search term on Twitter. ORIGINAL STORY: First off, he’ll definitely be announcing tomorrow. That much has been confirmed. The curious thing is…he’ll be announcing in Virginia. Why is that curious? Because Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell was on the [...]
He told Romney that the Freshman Senator was ready to take the top spot recently. From the Miami Herald: Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush thinks Sen. Marco Rubio is ready to be vice president and he shared those thoughts with presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney, he said Wednesday. Bush said he has been a huge [...]
With the news about Marco Rubio’s Veep chances today and then this about Daniels…I’m thinking the pick for Romney is between Rob Portman and Rob Portman. From WISHTV 8: WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WISH) – Purdue University officials plan to vote on a candidate for the school’s next president this week – and WISH-TV has learned [...]
Rubio has said in the past that he’s not interested in the position right now, and I think that’s a smart play. This is going to be an ugly campaign and Rubio doesn’t have much to gain by hitching his wagon to Romney’s star right now. Here’s more from ABC: Even before the Republicans chose [...]
Seems like GOPers are taking part in a lot of wishful thinking with this poll, but here are the numbers… The poll asked Republicans and independents who lean towards the GOP to choose from eight names who could be among the two dozen or so potential running mates that the Romney campaign may be considering [...]
So Mitt is it. But who will be his #2? Names being floated? Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell, Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels, Wisconsin Representative Paul Ryan, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and Governor Bobby Jindal. I’m sure there are more, but those are the ones that come to mind right off the bat. Personally, I think [...]
The big day has finally arrived. Super Tuesday is a mega-primary where 10 states hold their contests to vote for the GOP nominee: Alaska (27 delegates), Georgia (76 delegates), Idaho (32 delegates), Massachusetts (41 delegates), North Dakota (28 delegates), Ohio (66 delegates), Oklahoma (43 delegates), Tennessee (58 delegates), Vermont (17 delegates), and Virginia (49 delegates). [...]
If you haven’t been by the VEEP Blog in a while, you may have missed a story or two! My apologies for the summaries, but I’ve got a lot of ground to cover here… We’ve decided that, though T-Paw was an early adopter of Romney and hopelessly loyal, Romney’s poor showing in Minnesota pretty much [...]
Pundits tend to obsess over people who will never accept the #2 spot on the ticket. For instance, during the 2008 election, every other article was about how Barack Obama was “definitely going to select Hillary Rodham Clinton as his VP,” but deep down, you had to know that wasn’t going to happen — not [...]
All we ask is you keep your language clean and your arguments sharp.
