Running Mate?

[son of liberty]

got to win some primaries first. but heh

[mport1]

obama?

[Cap'n Crunk]

Right now I'd like to see South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford

[son of liberty]

I would rather see a PAUL/OBAMA ticket than a CLINTON/OBAMA ticket. Fours years with Ron Paul and Barack might learn a thing or two! President Paul steps aside in 2012 and Obama becomes the incumbent. Obama in whitehouse until 2020. Hey it could be worse. How does 8 years of Hillary sound?

I would love to see Rand Paul and Ron on a ticket, that would be interesting. If anything happened to Ron (God forbid) who better to carry out his ideals? I don't know, just some late night speculation.

[parocks]

Right now I'd like to see South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford

Based on what little I know of him, I tend to agree.

[guntherg16]

F**k you Frank!


Now that I've got that out of the way I like Pat Buchanan or Will Grigg.

[q_castic]

Clinton snubs Obama on the VP ticket. Disgusted, but rather than selling out for a prosperous career and maybe bigger career than Colon Powell, RP reaches across the aisle and achieves true bi-partisianship. Obama remains open minded and gradually subscribes to the RP ways and ideals. Sets himself up for a guranteed Pres. victory in 2012 or 2016 if RP goes 2 terms.

I like the idea and the votes Obama would bring. Unfortunately, he looks like he's being relegated to the establishment's next whipping boy.

[johngr]

Assuming he faces Hillary, Karen Kwiatkowski.

[Roxi]

sarah palin or karen kwiatkowski



HA HA we both posted KK at the exact same time :D

[Roxi]

oops

[Cap]

Walter Jones R-N.C.

[wisconsinite]

pointless to even speculate

[Danny Molina]

Pat Buchanan.

[tsetsefly]

Pat Buchanan.

no, he is an isolationist ...

[Baseline]

Dick Cheney.

J/K!

Kucinich would be interesting.

[literatim]

no, he is an isolationist ...

He is a protectionist.

[Cap]

Dick Cheney.

J/K!

Kucinich would be interesting.

Baseline, my son said the same thing to me last night. My question is this, how strong is Kucinich regarding the Constitution? I'm not flaming you, I am in the dark as far as Kucinich.

[Nefertiti]

Pat Buchanan.

[Cap]

Just imagine the bumper sticker, if Dr. Paul chose Walter Jones for his running mate.

Paul/Jones

This would invoke many memories about the "Paula Jones" episode during the Clinton Years. This would be a nightmare for the Hillary camp if she were the nominee facing Dr. Paul. There would be constant questions.

By the way, Walter Jones is the only other member who gets a 100% rating on his votes in Congress in regards to Constitutionality.

[freelance]

On general principles, Ron Paul would never pick Obama. It's not in the cards. It has to be an independent or a Republican. Other than that, it would be nice to have someone who bring along the most votes. Under a normal administration, the VPs powers are limited, so I don't really care. Wouldn't it be a waste of talent to put Judge Napolitano on the ticket? Wouldn't he be better as the AG?

Anyway, all of this is premature.

[CelestialRender]

I voted for Obama in the poll for sheer amusement.

Rand Paul would be a poor political choice...you want someone from a different state, with a slightly different political base and area of expertise. Father/son duos don't really fly.

[Ron LOL]

John Stossel.

The mustache can't lose.

[Hope]

I really like John Stossel, but people don't really take him seriously and would question his choice since he has no political experience.

I'm really hoping for Sarah Palin. She has the highest rating of any governor in the country and has done a bunch of libertarian-esque stuff in her state. Plus she could draw some of the vote away from Hillary.

[Dustancostine]

Sanford or Walt Williams

[Hope]

I have yet to hear anyone make the case for why Mark Sanford would be a good nominee. *shakes head*

[Anti-Donkey]

Voted for Hagel by accident. :D Meant to choose the Judge.

[10thAmendmentMan]

Penn Jillette. :)

Whoever he chooses should be more than adequate, though.

[karen81]

Obama??? Kucinich??? Are you f'ing kidding me?

Walter Williams or Mark Sanford.

I like the potential that Williams brings w/ the Rush Limbaugh audience.

[Pete]

I like Sarah Palin. She has been courageous about fighting government waste in AK and seems to have a very strong libertarian streak. She is also a fun speaker and would make a great goodwill ambassador for the US.

I hate to talk about appearance (she is a former beauty queen, Miss AK I think) but she is very attractive. She has an open, honest face, and she and RP would look good together on a ticket.

A lot of people (not RP fans) have been pushing for her to present herself as a VP candidate, but she feels she has more important work to do in Alaska. However, I'd bet she would join RP, knowing that she would be making a real contribution.

[tfelice]

I like the Judge and also Mark Sanford. I like Williams but he is the same age as Paul. The ticket should be balanced with someone younger.

[RegularRon]

I'd like to see Mark Sanford as well. For one thing he's pretty close to Dr. Paul's views. Secondly he is a Gov. of a important state, and thirdly, he's a good man.

And for a Paul/Obama ticket, I don't think I could do it. Obama is a Socialist. And I don't think I need to explain why that wouldn't work with the Good Doc.

[Marceline88]

Walter Williams or Sarah Palin......let's try these out in print........

Paul-Palin 2008

or

Paul-Williams 2008


Hrmmmmmm.......

Paul-Palin kinda has a nice alliteration to it. She's gotta be the one if he's in the big game against Hillary.

Plus Paul Williams is an excellent songwriter, people will get confused and think he is running for President. heh

[Chester Copperpot]

Right now I'd like to see South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford

i agree

[schmeisser]

Palin

[Trassin]

I don't have a name at the moment but I would think his running mate should be someone with a personality (note, I didn't say ethics) similar to that of Giuliani.

Whether or not you like Rudy, and I certainly don't, there is a large percentage of the voting population who likes the image he projects. These are the same people who can relate to President Bush's personality. And while I don't necessarily have a very high opinion of these people they do make up a rather large portion of the electorate.

[0zzy]

Gov. Sarah Palin
or
Gov. Mark Sanford

[Korey Kaczynski]

This poll is RETARDED.

Seriously.

Rand has no political experience, Obama is a FLAKING SOCIALIST SCUMBAG, and Hagel is mediocre and probably will endorse someone like Biden.

You are a VERY angry person. Please, calm down. Biden is a Democract btw, Hagel = Republican.

[tnvoter]

I will trust Dr. Paul's pick for VP.

[LinearChaos]

Robert D. Steele :) That guy is the man, imo Dr. Paul would be wise to get in touch with him.

[Phil M]

Rep. Bob Barr
Gov. Sanford
Gov. Palin
Rep. Jeff Flake
in that order.

[Drknows]

I'm all for Chuck Hagel he would compliment Ron pauls personality and character. or Pat Buchanan even though i have some disagreements on things with him.

the chick from Alaska would be my 3rd choice.

[American]

I like Colin Powel, he has support on both sides.

[Korey Kaczynski]

You are a VERY angry person. Please, calm down. Biden is a Democract btw, Hagel = Republican.

I know I'm an angry person. It can't be helped :( :mad:

Yeah, but I got the impression that Hagel was a Biden fan after the mask incident.

[Swmorgan77]

Hagel?

Is this an effort get the die-bold machines on our side??

WTH?

[Eric21ND]

I have yet to hear anyone make the case for why Mark Sanford would be a good nominee. *shakes head*

He's from the south.

South Carolina in fact which winning the state would be a major coup.

He shares some of Paul's view of fiscal responsibility.

He seems like a nice southern boy, that's the way he comes across. He talks plainly and honestly.

I still don't know much about him, but these are good reasons to consider.

[Eric21ND]

Could someone put up pictures and brief bios of some of these suggestions?

[0zzy]

He and Paul also voted together in congress. It was like 423-2. Stanford HATES pork projects and unbalanced budgets. He vetos bills with pork and unbalanced budgets, after lots of overturns, he got pigs and put them in the house. :)

[Eric21ND]

I like Colin Powel, he has support on both sides.
Sadly I think his credibility has taken a hit after being in the Bush administration. He was also one of those that were out beating the drums of war. Before that he might have been a top 3 choice...now I doubt he makes the top 10 if at all. :rolleyes:

[OptionsTrader]

Right now I'd like to see South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford


Yes, Mark Sanford he needs to be added to the poll.

[Goldwater Conservative]

I'm a big fan of the Judge Napolitano idea, but Chuck Hagel would be a great electoral boon. Maybe save the Judge for Attorney General. :D

Sanford is also a good pick.

[jgmaynard]

Yes, silly to think about this now, but let's play!

I like former NH Governor Craig Benson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Benson).

- Like Paul, he is basically a libertarian Republican, only a little further to the right.

- He is from a different area of the country and it is NH - one of the most politically active states in the nation, with the highest level of donors of any state.

- He has executive experience - former NH Governor

- He's worth $600 million +, and would likely be willing to feed some money to the campaign against the D candidate.

- He's a "doer" - when George Bush forbid states to import presciption drugs from Canada, he bought drugs to be tested from Canada on his own credit card! LOL. He also set up a government efficency (sp?) commission here to eliminate government waste, paying 10% of all money saved directly to the person who found the waste! his choice to head the commission? John Babiarz, head of the NH LP!

- When the FSP was selecting a state, he was the only one of the ten governors to say the FSP small government activists would be welcome to his state.

- He's also younger, and has got a better hairdo than Romney. :)

I have no idea of whether or not Benson would want the post, but there's a whole lot going for him.

JM

[cjhowe]

Hagel would overpower the top spot. At the questioning before the first N.H. debates, RP was asked if there was someone that he would support if he didn't win the nomination and RP said Hagel. At the same time, many of the Democratic candidates said that they could support Hagel, IIRC Obama included.

[OReich]

I think we need someone that represents different backgrounds, but the same philosophy: Napolitano

Paul: Protestant/Episcopalian (I don't know Christianity, so if I'm saying something stupid tell me), Napolitano: Catholic

Paul: white, southern, Napolitano: Italian/immigrant/northern (New Jersey)

Also, Napolitano's got a great personality and is already respected amongst conservatives for his work for Fox News. I watched Fox News enthusiastically (sorry...) for years, and never had a clue Napolitano didn't like Bush. And Fox News could not possibly ignore one of its most lovable/intelligent/well-known contributors running for Vice President.

Yes, as far as Vice President vs. Attorney General, I think he'd be a better Attorney General. But, my priority is getting Paul elected, and having Napolitano's face and voice all over the media can help in that cause.

If we vs Hilary, we should get Sarah Palin as VP. Young, cute, female, optimistic, executive experience, etc.

[framecut]

sarah palin or karen kwiatkowski



HA HA we both posted KK at the exact same time :D

karen kwiatkowski?????


Oh geez....


Ron Paul oftentimes talks about how the Republican party was 'Hi-jacked by Neo-Conservatives"

I'm just wondering if Ron Paul's campaign is going to get hi-jacked by "9/11 Truthers" and every other KOOK.

[framecut]

If we vs Hilary, we should get Sarah Palin as VP. Young, cute, female, optimistic, executive experience, etc.

This is stupid.

What about just having the BEST PERSON FOR THE JOB?

Here's Dr. Paul fighting against 'Affirmative Action' for over 30 years, and what's the first thing his supporters suggest? Everything Dr. Paul is against!

[Taco John]

I like Colin Powel, he has support on both sides.

Not from me he doesn't. I used to be a huge fan. The spineless weasel can go suck a pumpkin for all I care about him now.

Ron Paul is from Pennsylvania, and has only graced Texas with his presence:D

[ProBlue33]

Hmm didn't know about Palin until now, interesting.

If Hillary is the democrat, this might be a good pick, it would challange thinking women that want a woman elected to higher office, but are against the war.
Would be a good balance to the ticket

Wiki says
"In July 2007, Gov. Palin was heralded in the media as being the most popular governor in the United States, with an approval rating often in the 90s."

She is better looking than Hillary and brings youth to the ticket.

Is she a good speaker?

[Nefertiti]

Since so many have voted "Someone else" I suggest someone make a new poll that reflects better the suggestions that have been made.

[aravoth]

walter williams

[RevolutionSD]

Michael Badnarik or Lew Rockwell.

[granny miller]

Patrick Buchanan or Judge Andrew P. Napolitano :)

[Taco John]

Michael Badnarik would sink the ticket like a rock...

[Hope]

He's from the south.

South Carolina in fact which winning the state would be a major coup.

He shares some of Paul's view of fiscal responsibility.

He seems like a nice southern boy, that's the way he comes across. He talks plainly and honestly.

I still don't know much about him, but these are good reasons to consider.

If RP gets the nomination, he isn't going to need to worry about SC. The Republican nominee could nominate Kucinich and STILL win South Carolina.

And although Ron Paul was not born in the South, he's lived in Texas for what, the past thirty or forty years?

Sanford is damaged goods. Don't tell me he's one of us when he was just smooching with Jeb Bush not two weeks ago.

I personally think so many people say Sanford because that's what they've heard the media kevetching about, nothing more.

[Hope]

It both saddens and angers me when people say, "But let's have a DIVERSE ticket! You know, like...Catholic and Proestant. *nodnod* And one guy will be a WASP and the other one will be -- wait for it -- Italian! Brilliant! That'll really send the message that the Republican Party is for everybody."

[American]

Sadly I think his credibility has taken a hit after being in the Bush administration. He was also one of those that were out beating the drums of war. Before that he might have been a top 3 choice...now I doubt he makes the top 10 if at all. :rolleyes:

True but has was also ostracized by Bush when he didnt agree with him. I think that shows he was only reporting the intel they had available and he didnt agree with Bush once he knew. I think its important we have someone with a military background, the terrorist issue is important.

[Eric21ND]

Michael Badnarik would sink the ticket like a rock...

He doesn't carry much weight, or any weight really. He's also not very charismatic.

Hey can we add Jesse Ventura to the choices. He's pretty libertarian himself.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sm2weLS5gJ4

[SeanEdwards]

I like Palin for neutralizing the Hillary "first woman president omg!" factor.

[FireofLiberty]

Badnarik or Jim Guest are possibilities.

[dwdollar]

I would wet myself if Clint Eastwood was VP. But, we don't even have an endorsement from him yet.

What do you guys think of Tom Coburn (http://coburn.senate.gov/public/), the Senator from Oklahoma?

He's about the only other person in Congress that I trust.

[andreww]

The "Remarkable Man" Ed Thompson.
He considered a presidential bid this year, as did his brother Tommy Thompson.

[Delaware]

We need to choose someone that, if for any reason, Ron Paul passes during the presidency, will not crack under lobbying pressure or threat.

[shrapnel88]

I disagree completely. I think Badnarik is VERY charismatic and likable.

[stevedasbach]

Right now I'd like to see South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford

We definitely need a successful Governor who shares Paul's vision -- someone who can run and win as Paul's successor. Sanford would be a good choice -- former Gov. Gary Johnson (NM) or Gov. Sarah Palin (AK) would also be good.

[theseus51]

Mark Sanford!

[AlexMerced]

I would go for Palin

[wfd40]

How about Wesley Clark??

[USPatriot36]

Any poll without Mark Sanford who is the only person that Ron Paul has mentioned is seriously flawed.

[Furis]

To the people that keep saying Pat Buchanan:

Pat is great and I would love to see him in the White House, but he turns off Dems and while I think that RP will beat Hillary given the opportunity I would like it to be like a land slide so we need someone more like Dr. Paul.

[ButchHowdy]

I have yet to hear anyone make the case for why Mark Sanford would be a good nominee. *shakes head*

Amen! Guy is DAMAGED goods for hanging out with Jeb Bush, and it is doubtful he'll endorse Ron anyway.

Theoretically, he should pick Jimmy Duncan, R-TN, who also had a clear head in not supporting the Iraq mission, but,

If going against the Hildebeast, He should choose a woman. I haven't studied this Sarah Palin but there's something very pleasing about her . . . she's looks to have that 'Wonder Woman' thing going!

[Ron Paul in 2008]

To the people that keep saying Pat Buchanan:

Pat is great and I would love to see him in the White House, but he turns off Dems and while I think that RP will beat Hillary given the opportunity I would like it to be like a land slide so we need someone more like Dr. Paul.

True. Pat is my choice as well but I don't think a lot of dems will like it. However, if Ron Paul doesn't pick someone who has his viewpoints he will be assassinated. His life depends on who he picks.


walter williams. we need great economists in the top positions. i think it would also help counter the ridiculous claim that ron is a racist.

That is annoying. I really hope he wont do that. We all know he is not racist.

[Eric21ND]

Oh man, I definitely like him as a choice after hearing that video. Not sure about his policies. He would be a formidable personality though :)

Ventura's pressence would be an interesting contrast to Paul's humble demeanor. He could serve as our attack dog if need be. He's very well liked by the public and young people. He also called himself a libertarian once upon a time I think. He shares a lot of Paul's views. I think we should seriously consider throwing his name on the list at least.

[LibertyOfOne]

Sarah Palin would make a great VP, but she wants to finish what she started in AK.

Judge Napolitano is a good idea.


But has anyone heard about this idea going on with people suggesting Romney/Paul?? I always thought romney was just a giuliani duplicate, but some of his supporters are suggesting picking paul as his running mate. Seems odd to me.

Bloomberg is my second choice besides the good doctor for president, but an obama could be good.

Condolezza Rice is a neo-con.
Ezola Foster will get dismissed as an Uncle Tom (or Aunt Tammy) immediately.

I'll play one of the stupid members and try to explain why some might feel Obama might fit into our group. Obviously the Obama we see today is not one we would greet with open arms, but there seems to be something about Mr. Obama that I and perhaps others see in him.

I see a person that sometimes seems to struggle with his response to certain key questions, almost like he is having a conflict saying what he believes against saying what he is being told to say by his handlers. I also think he is one who is not afraid to come forth and admitt he has made mistakes.

I would suggest to you that he is currently going through some rather trying personnel struggles within himself and that our message is the root of these struggles. I believe he is very aware of Dr. Paul's broader message and his recent ommisions of drug use and other human aspects of his life are his way of releasing some of that conflict.

If anyone knows Barack personnely from our camp, I would certainly suggest trying to reach out to him at this point and have a talk with him, it couldn't hurt and though Mr Obama certainly does have some different approaches on many issues he very well may understand that there are bigger issues at hand. There is no downside to trying that I see, only a upside that could prove to be monumental.

Just within the past day or so, I read an article that mentioned that Giuliani is going to court Sanford's support by offering him the VP slot should he win the nomination. Unfortunately, I do not have a link and I don't even remember where I saw it. Maybe someone else out there does.

And pick someone serious for VP, not a Democrat or a relative or an economist, etc.

You expect an SC opening in the next 4 years? Why can't he be Veep before that?

unlike FDR, Paul can't just add new justices. There has to be a vacancy. The court is pretty young now.

I still like Napolitano. What about James Traficant?

Why not have this guy as Ron Paul's new running mate? Sounds like a good idea to me.

Gov Mark Sanford

[AlexMerced]

If we can get Sanford endorsement ASAP by doing so then yes, otherwise despite her reluctance, I'm in the Sarah Palin fan club

Kucinich

Absolutely not. The Media would make a laughingstock out of it.

I think we need either an African American or a Woman to combat the Hillary/Barack ticket.

[jamesmadison]

Absolutely not. The Media would make a laughingstock out of it.

You mean, as they do, with Ron Paul?

[JMann]

Stop the allah-damned Kuncinich crap. He is a socialist-Democrat that has no respect for the constitution. Yes, he is anti-war, we get it. Paul isn't anti-war he wants to take the country in a new direction in foreign policy and protect against unconstitutional wars. He isn't simple minded like Denny. Don't expect Sanford to jump on Paul's train but he is close to Paul on the issues and he has the qualifications to be number 2. The last thing Paul needs is a Gen. Stockdale.

The constitution is a piece of paper. Go worship a tree.

As they try to.

Imagine having UFO Kucinich following Paul's coat tails. This would be a huge media blunder. Besides, all Paul and Kucinich have in common is their thoughts on the War.

Ideally, it would be fantastic to have a strong African American Woman.

It's too bad that Condoleeza Rice got entangled with the Bush Administration. She has excellent experience as Secretary of State that would suit her well as Vice President for Paul.

Too much negativity associated with her now, though to make this a possibility.

War mongering neocon that doesn't understand anything and has the cognitive capacity of a child.

NO.

[Midnight77]

^^^ Did you read what I said? I said it's too bad she is associated with the Bush Administration. She was fine before she associated with them. Now, she's just a puppet of theirs.

[Zappa's Brain]

Chuck Hagel should at least be contacted for endorsement.
As for V? Bob Barker? Paul could use a game show host look too.

Or how about Tom Osborn for VP?
