I'm starting to think this would be a strong ticket. They're missing military experience, but other than that they bring a solid background to the table.
At this point, Romney may be the safest (viable) choice. Not nearly as polarizing as Newt. Excellent debater. Has the flip-flop baggage, but other than that is pretty clean.
Christi would absolutely destroy Biden.
-
it doesn't matter at this point. You'll vote against obama no matter who is on the ticket.

"but other than that is pretty clean?" Really? You have pointed out the "other than that" in regards to Newt lol... Of course you changed course fast after he became the front runner.

beach bum said for years that newt was a no-go for sticking his pee pee in forbidden va-jay-jay.
I guess morality is relative to your options, eh? ;)

BB, always a day late and a dollar short.

I've said that many times, but that has nothing to do with whether Romney/Christie is a good ticket to beat Obama.

Yes, really. :)
I've pointed out Newt's "other than that" several times. It's still a problem. And the only "changed course" is my prediction that he is unelectable. I may have been wrong about that. We'll find out pretty soon.
I have the same opinion about whether he forfeited his right to be president over his hypocrisy during the Clinton impeachment.

Speaking of a dollar short, are you still sending money to Ron Paul? And have you cracked that 911 conspiracy yet??

Yes, really. :)

well, newt just signed his 3rd agreement not to cheat. actually, I think he endorsed the document but didn't sign it.
imagine being asked a second... then THIRD time to sign a fidelity agreement. LMFAO.
i feel bad for yall repubs, having to settle for a dirtbag like this.

lol. Newt is a dirtbag? The same dirtbag you wanted to run for president? ::)

I don't care if my president is banging 5 whores a night, as long as he is fixing the economy.
newt is a dirtbag, and I think he'll have trouble winning moderate voters with his abrasive personality, but in terms of fixing things economic, I think he will do a fine job. I just think RPaul would do a BETTER job.
Newt is certainly a shady dirtbag. He 'admitted' making a very small amount from Freddie, then it turned out to be WAY more. He was a lobbyist, he is a dirtbag, but that doesn't bother me.
I have the moral security to say "yes, this guy is a total douche, a fat lying pig of a cheater, but I'm thinking he will repair the US economy".
-

Newt is a liar and sleezebag. I would vote for him over obama obviously, but lets be real, Newt has no core convictions whatsoever same as romney.

Even with the problems I have with Newt, there is no way I can tap Obama's name on the screen next year. There is just too much at stake.
But to the thread topic, I just don't think Romney has the same baggage. He'll do a better job of attracting independents and crossover Democrats.

Agreed. Romney also wont turn off women like newt does.

It's true. I can admit I will buy a cheeseburger from a guy who beats cattle with hammers all day... some people can't.
I can admit I would vote for a candidate who unloads semen inside strange nookie. I wouldn't have to justify it with "but but he's matured since then" or other nonsense. If you're in your 40s and 50s and you're cheating, hey, you're a dirtbag.
I can say "Yes, I'mma vote for this dirtbag". Many people don't have that kind of moral security. They would prefer to lie to themselves and say "he's not REALLy a dirtbag, or not a dirtbag ANYMORE..."
I like 33 because he's honest. He knows newt is a greasy fat pig of a cheater, but he's okay with that. Me too!

I have a few people screaming at me on FR over calling Newt a sleazebag. It seems like the palin cult went from cain to now newt.

IMO, it all goes back to the moral insecurity thing here. They have to believe the person they're voting for is morally clean.
Newt cheated like crazy in his 40s and 50s. So what? That's between he and his wife. Does he have a moral leg to stand upon? Oh, shit no.
They can't hold their bible and their rosary, while tapping "3x wife cheater" over "faithful hubby obama" on the voting machine.
So they delude themselves. "he's not like that anymore...." LMAO. Moral security. Word.

hey man, I grew up with 10 years of catholic school. I know that whole moral conflict. I read the bible every day in school and yeah, there are certainly moral conflicts that come with choosing candidates, supporting wars - particularly in light of our new info age.
It's an unhappy feeling, but it can be very liberating BB. Just say "these things are out of my control - I don't have to consider factors such as faithfulness, integrity, or honesty in my candidate. Competence and ability to fix economy are how I vote - period".
Many religious people cannot do this. They have to cling onto lies like WMD because they can't find "bombing someone who hasn't attacked us is okay" in the bible. And they have to say "Newt is not an adulterer (anymore).

You should probably talk to "religious" people a little more. If you did, perhaps your views on morality and "religious people" wouldn't be so dang ridiculous.

I'm just looking for honesty - i know its too much to ask. newt will say whatever he thinks sounds good in front of whoever is paying him or listening. Same w Romney.

ronpaul is honest to a fault. he's taken som real hits for being honest on things when they're legal but not popular.

I don't think Newt's problem is dishonesty. It's his past and leadership style. He pretty much speaks the truth when it comes to the issues and what needs to be done to fix the economy.
Romney is definitely an opportunist based on the way he tried to out-liberal Kennedy and now claims to be a conservative, but I wouldn't necessarily call him dishonest.
If you're looking for honesty from politicians, all I can say is good luck with that.
Even Ron Paul, who is an honest man, is just a politician. He acted just like a garden variety politician when it came to accepting stimulus money and earmarks, despite speaking out against both. It's what politicians do.
-

How many times have I ever brought up 9/11 conspiracy? ::)

Christie: I Don't Rule Out VP Run
Thursday, 22 Dec 2011
WASHINGTON - New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who dashed many Republican hopes when he said he would not run for president in 2012, said Thursday he had not ruled out running for vice president.
Christie endorsed Mitt Romney shortly after announcing in early October that he would not join the group of Republicans vying for the party's presidential nomination. He has been campaigning for the former Massachusetts governor.
"The fact is if Governor Romney comes to me and wants to talk to me about that, we'll have a full conversation about that and then (my wife) Mary Pat and I will make that decision about what we want to do with our future," Christie said in an interview with his wife on Fox News Channel.
"But my view is, I think if you fast forward the tape to a year from now it's going to be President-elect Romney and some other VP-elect and Chris Christie the Governor of New Jersey," he said.
Christie said he did not think Romney wanted to be "presumptuous" enough to talk to anyone about being his running-mate when he has not yet become the nominee.
"There will be plenty of time for that once he sews up the nomination and I hope that he'll talk to a broad range of people to try to find the partner that he thinks will best serve him and best serve America," Christie said on Fox.
The first nominating contest of the 2012 election, the Iowa caucuses, takes place on Jan. 3.
Republicans and deep-pocketed donors had urged Christie to seek the Republican nomination to run against President Barack Obama next year. But the blunt-talking governor announced in October he would remain New Jersey's governor, a position he assumed only in early 2010.

Romney needs to pick either Rubio or Susanna Martinez. IMHO. Susanna Martinez is better than Rubio.

she is a real honest regular person. her spouse is cool as shit. Rubio is not tea party. He is RINO. He is supporting the rendition law and will get crucified over it. Susanna Martinez is bad ass.

Chris Christie wows New Hampshire crowd. Romney-Christie ticket, anyone? (+video)
Chris Christie joined New Hampshire front-runner Mitt Romney on stage Sunday, responding swiftly to hecklers shouting 'Mitt kills jobs.' He added Jersey-style charisma to the button-down Romney.
By Linda Feldmann, Staff writer / January 9, 2012
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who resisted repeated entreaties to jump into the 2012 presidential race, joined New Hampshire front-runner Mitt Romney on stage at Exeter High School – and was soon competing for attention with hecklers shouting “Mitt kills jobs.”
Without missing a beat, Governor Christie defanged the protesters, Jersey style.
When the hecklers switched from “Mitt kills jobs” to “Christie kills jobs,” the larger-than-life governor stopped in his tracks. “Really?” The packed gymnasium erupted in laughter. “You know, something may go down tonight but it ain’t gonna be jobs, sweetheart,” Governor Christie shot back. The crowd roared.
Christie 1, Hecklers 0.
See for yourself in this video from the Exeter Patch:

rubio has less experience than obama had in 2008. or palin. he's going to be attacked for that.
NO WAY romney chooses a guy like that. He'll get someone who has at least a decade in public service at the highest level. There are plenty of thunes or mcdonnels out there who have been vetted for 20 years and have military experience.
you get christie and you have a guy who is a stubbed toe away from calling a female reporter the c-word.... let's be honest. He's awesome, but a loose cannon.
And rubio is an known - he'd be vetted to all hell - and he's not that experienced guys, you forget that.
Plenty of respectable voices with conservative records. Thune DESTROYS rubio and christie, and is a SAFE choice. He's not going to break a sweat or make a gaffe that sinks it all.

I like Christie too. That is why I want him to do what Huckabee did, change his lifestyle and lose a couple of.......hundred pounds. It'll be sad if he kills over before he can do much more in politics. :'(
