Is it me, or is it becoming more and more obvious that it's going to be Tim Pawlenty?

This whole thread makes no sense to me whatsoever.

Haven't been paying attention to whom mr Mormon will pick as his veep.

The only buzz I'm catching is about Marco.

ah, now it's starting to make sense.

Altough why does it matter?

-not even Americans can be stupid enough to make President out of Romney
-he is a rich white man, who would assassinate him, making the VP choice relevant?

I'm a big fan of Marco.  But I think this'd be a mistake for him, he should keep his powder dry for 2016.

Also I think it could be risky for Mitt to choose a VP who's that much more base-friendly and that much more charismatic.

Really?  He sorta seems to have tapered off the last 2 weeks or so;  I've seen Pawlenty in front of more than one podium though.
I dunno...I can see why the GOP would consider Marco an attractive candidate, but he's a bit unseasoned, and I think there's a lot of gun-shyness after The Grizzly Mom Experiment.

They may have no choice but to play it safe with another boring white guy, but not one that can show up Mittens in the personality department.  The Veep'll have to be even duller.

No way, man.  As much fun as Biden v Christie would be, Mittens would never go for it.

I don't know - given how meh everyone is it'd be nice to have some invigorating in the wings.

I can't see what's in it for Christie. He could've had a shot at the presidency, so why settle for VP?

Realistically he didn't.
