Paul/Bachman 2012

[Occam's Banana]

Let's save Napolitano for Supreme Court Justice.

I've never liked the idea of Napolitano for VP. The VP spot would be completely wasted on someone of Napolitano's vigor, dedication & enthusiasm.

A SCOTUS seat would be better. The problem is that you've go to wait for a seat to be vacated. And SCOTUS is essentially passive. It has to wait for a case to come before it before it can actually do anything. And while I'm confident that a Justice Napolitano would make the right call on every case, would it matter? After all, at least 4 other justices would also have to make the right call.

Clearly, Napolitano should be Attorney General. It's hard to see the end of all the good a pro-active, uncompromising Constitutionalist like Judge Nap could do as AG. And after he's whipped a boat-load of things into shape as AG, if a SCOTUS seat should open up, well, then ... (the best of both worlds).

Bachman is a twit. Ventura or Rand for the VP.

Better than Kucinich;that was floating around; but too polarizing, we need someone more like him on the ticket....Gary Johnson.

Us: Paul/Bachman for President!
Them: Yeah that song's pretty good, but President?!

I think Bachman would be a great choice, look people we have to find someone appealing to the Tea Party and somewhat to centrists. Mike Lee would be a another good choice, but two libertarians on the ticket has no chance in hell of winning. If we want Ron in the Whitehouse we have to be smart in our strategy.

how about we leave it up to Ron Paul?!?! I'm sure he knows who's best for the VP, lets concentrate on getting him to the chair and we can relax while he chooses.

Who's your pick?

Walter B. Jones.

Someone with absolutely zero experience? I'm sure the electorate will be peachy-keen with that. And they'll just love the 9/11 truther stuff:

Well they seem to be loving Trump's birther stuff.

Anyway, these "Let's pick the VP" threads are silly. Just about everybody is disliked by somebody. As to the OP, Bachmann wouldn't "balance" the ticket as far as the general election is concerned. She'd help in the primary, but nobody picks a VP in the primary. Bachmann might "shore up conservatives" just like Palin did for McCain. That's why McCain won the genera....oh...nevermind.
