Drudge - ROMNEY NARROWS VP CHOICES; CONDI EMERGES AS FRONTRUNNER

[anaconda]

If the nominee is smart, he will have his list of favorites, but then it's off to the staff to vet and analyze which one will be the best choice.

If the nominee is dumb, as in McCain's case, the staff will veto his pick(s), and then make and vet a list of their own.

I'm a little slow here...are you implying the "list" gets turned over to the delegates?

Wow this is depressing. Neocons never learn.

I am most surprised that the public continues to feel compelled to vote for whomever the establishment promotes. At least the neocons are trying to accomplish what they think is in their own best selfish interests. The GOP base continues to shoot themselves in the foot. This Romney thing seems like a deja vu of McCain. The neocons are trapped because they can't offer up a liberty candidate without capitulating their power.

Mark Levin is disapprove.

No... Maybe you can clarify what your question exactly is?

I'm trying to answer how a VP is picked.

How it works officially: The national delegates, through a vote, select their VP nominee.
How it works practically: The presumptive nominee and his staff come up with a list of possible VP choices, vet them all, then pick their favorite. Then the national delegates confirm the selection with a voice vote because they worship their nominee no matter what.

I'm not really into the "who's going to be Romney's VP pick?" The only thing that interests me about Romney is his defeat, by Paul at the convention, or in the election. The horror of Condi could possibly shake up or wake up some more delegates, and cause them to vote Paul or to abstain at the nomination vote. Perhaps if we spread the meme that "by his choices, Romney is already betraying social conservatives" and pointed to Condi being on his short list, along with his judicial picks as Governor (3 out of 4 of whom turned out to be social liberals), we could shave some more delegates Paul's way.
