Who would be the most SUCCESSFUL running mate for Ron Paul?

[randolphfuller]

People will not vote for or care who the Vice Presidential nominee is. He should be someone who can guarantee carryin his large state.

100% disagree.

How many voted did John McCain get just cause the Palin maneuver?

I think either Demint or Huckabee is a real popular choice. Unless there is some sort of op culture icon that can woo the masses on star power alone that im missing.

 

[ARealConservative]

based on the present day reality of the world we live in:

Ron Paul/Oprah Winfrey 2012 would have the most success.

 

[Eric21ND]

Ron Paul/Jim Demint

Judge Napolitano for Attorney General

John Stossel for Press Secretary

 

[Captain Bryan]

Herman Cain.

Listening to this dude speak at SLRC was awesome.

 

[JohnRego]

Schiff would serve great as an advisor or a cabinet position.

Schiff for Fed Chairman.

lol, id say a pretty high percentage, McCain is a facking retard, even most of the US public knows that (thats when you know there are issues) :o

 

[wormyguy]

Schiff for Fed Chairman.

IIRC the President is only allowed to choose from the current Board of Governors (although he could appoint someone new when one of their terms runs out). Schiff for Treasury Secretary could work.

[fatjohn]

paul already hinted that he would like to see napolitano for the supreme court 4 life baby

 

[jscoppe]

Schiff for Fed Chairman.

Not sure if the Senate would confirm him.

Edit: and yes, Chairman has to be selected from the sitting Fed Governors.

Schiff for Treasury Secretary!

 

[Brooklyn Red Leg]

The Judge. Accept no substitutes.

 

[LDA]

I mean, the VP doesn't really do that much. I'd rather see Napolitano made a Supreme Court Justice. With that said, I voted for Napolitano.

Like it or not, but if Ron Paul gets the Republican nomination and hopes to win in the general election, he can't run on his hardline anti-war position. If he does, someone like John Bolton or Newt Gingrich will run as an independent against him, and divide the vote. He'd need to shift to a more moderate position on foreign policy, and put someone like Jim DeMint on his ticket. I think Paul would have broad support for ending nation building, and ending the war in Iraq, but most conservatives probably won't vote for him if they think he will significantly defund the military and weaken the national defense.

P.S. Chris Christie will never be anyone's "Nr. 2".

 

[Eric21ND]

Jim Demint would give us huge credibility among typical republican voters.

 

[nandnor]

nvm

I figured up the other day. If we added up the killed and wounded in the Democrat wars in this century, it would be about 1.6 million Americans, enough to fill the city of Detroit. - Bob Dole

So Bob Dole is only agaisnt Democrat wars? As I recall he voted for Gulf War I.

Didn't you get the memo? The GOP is quietly shifting away from it's hardline neocon pro war position. Over the past year no less than 8 well known GOP figures have spoken out against the war in Afghanistan including Newt Gingrich!

Newt's position is squishy enough that he can go either way. But the positions taken by Michael Steele, Laura Ingram, and especially Michael Savage give good cover to any anti war republican willing to dissent on that issue. Newt would not be stupid enough to run as an independent just to support a war that he has now expressed doubts about. And John Bolton is so discredited at this point that an indy run by him would be irrelevant.

Ann Coulter! (just kidding). If Ron Paul were to win the Republican nomination for presidency, I'd like for his vice president to be someone who could be his successor. Someone who was younger and could carry on the torch of the freedom movement. Ron Paul is no spring chicken, so I'd like for his vice presidential choice to be someone who could carry on the message and run in 2016, supposing that Paul doesn't win against Obama. My vote goes to either Gary Johnson or Peter Schiff.
