Inuyasha probably won't be selected, given his contemptuous comments directed at Mr. Romney.

Donald Trump would ruin Mitt Romneys chances of becoming president the 99% would be against him.

I'm thinking he might pick a "liberal" Republican; what hard-right GOPers (a redundant term these days, I know) would call a "RINO." And the person he picks will probably have been a "RINO" his (or her) whole career.

The thing is, "liberal" Republicans (the ones who support gun control, are pro-choice, etc.) are pretty much always total Wall Street/corporation/big business wh*res. Their "liberalism" and intimacy with big corporations go hand-in-hand.

He'll pick Marco Rubio almost guaranteed. Young, Hispanic, appeals to so called Tea Party voters, and will help him carry all important Florida.

It's hard to rationalize this because as in 2000 and 2008, the Republican nominee's vice president choice was completely unexpected.

It's presumptuous to talk about Romney's VP. First, he doesn't have the nomination, yet--though I concede that it is looking increasingly likely. But second, and more importantly, he has to get elected.

It's mathematically impossible for anyone else to get the nomination, short of some sort of massive game-changing event, like Romney suddenly dropping out.

A few names that come to mind: Scott Brown, Tim Pawlenty, Jon Huntsman, Rick Perry or one of his former primary opponents.

Let us take a look at some names that have been tossed around already:

Michelle Bachmann: Unfortunately, the American voter base still reeks of sexism, so she could cost Romney the election. A lot of people said that's what happened in 2008 with John McCain and Sarah Palin.

Jeb Bush: His last name is Bush, enough said.

Chris Christie: It's very likely that he does not want to do anymore than he is doing now. Possible health concerns.

Donald Trump: I doubt he would want to take a pay cut.

If Sarah Palin was qualified to be a presidential running mate why not?

If he actually chose Snooki then I would vote for him just to say that I voted for him.

Sorta how in 2008 people voted for Obama to "be a part of history."

His choice must be able to say "yawl" at least 20 times each speech.
