Whitman lost to Jerry Brown in the November 2 election.

    With Ron and Meg Whitman, we could carry California.
    Jerry Brown... thats the signature on my bachelor's degree. I wish it was arnold swarchzenegger. lol.

    Well, california is still broke and going under.... =|

    3) If we want to be serious about getting Paul the nomination, we need to compromise a bit. I'm sorry but Ron Paul announcing Napolitano, or Walter Williams as his VP isn't going to get the social conservatives to switch from Romney to Paul.

    Santorum is horrible, I know this, but I'm looking at what is the most important right now, Obama/Biden vs Romney/Ryan or Obama/Biden vs Paul/Santorum. Which one would you choose?

    Santorum is a big government leftist. No.

    Bad press can make anyone look like an idiot, Ron paul should know that all too well. Palin is hardly an idiot.

    *GAG* <-- from California

    Possibly better than santorum but only because santorum is so bad. The case for Palin is she really seems more independent and less bought, except for superficially. (yeah, superficially bought, like that phrase?)

    but it should be between delegates and on the floor I think, if it is her. She ISN'T on board with Ron but if the situation came up, nor would anyone else be who could make it fly with the other delegates there, and she'd be better than most of those. Just my 2cents. Palin isn't 'my girl' but 'doesn't belong to Goldman Sachs' is a big deal with me, and the others I can think of do.

    You gotta be kidding. She was taking their money when she was running for VP.

    I prefer girls with their own money. Meg is a great choice.

    This must be silly.. but I voted for Meg Witman because of this


    "On Monday, Whitman’s campaign sent out a twitter update with a link intended to take viewers to a site with a San Diego Police Association endorsement. Instead, clickers were taken to a YouTube video of a Japanese man dressed in a pink tutu, thigh-high stockings and garters.

    Whitman’s campaign staff’s apparent cut and paste error has bumped the YouTube video to more than 986,000 views. And most curious, the campaign has not yet removed the odd tweet."

    Serendipity! This could not have been a random error. Someone had a great sense of humor and they just let it go.

    Imagine the bitch scream that Sarah Palin would have yell out!

    She didn't take it, McCain did.

    Meg just seemed like a go along establishment Republican to me in the gubanatorial race. What about her is good?

    She was a great CEO at E-Bay and made it very successfully in a highly male dominated nerd culture. She commanded respect without any of tools that many use to claim authority. For example she used a regular cubicle along with everyone else.

    I'm still in shock that Gerry Brown won. She would have been so much better for California and now, the country.

    Get over it.. Sarah Palin is a joke. Admittely i used to like her back in 2008 but her true colors have come out and she's just milking any attention she is getting.

    Sorry if i offended any Palin fans or if I broke some internet treaty but that's the truth that i feel.

    None of that speaks to any policy that would be different from the status quo now.

    Choosing Palin could also do this but I'm fairly confident that Santorum would be the best bet to help Paul win the nomination.

I dont think they are utterly sold on him. Palin, Bachmann someone like that might fire them up equally as much. Of the two, I like Palin because she is independent, more, and I think she doesn't really have a set foreign policy she is sold on, to be honest. Neither are my candidates. But Bachmann voted for NDAA and to extend the Patriot Act etc etc.

    However, I find it hard to get BEHIND any of them and wouldn't want Ron to pick them and take on their policies. I'd rather the VP was picked from the floor where compromises wouldn't taint Ron.

    You would probably be right if he would make a formal announcement as to his pick for VP, but he could mention his own choices when critiquing Romney's VP pick. Let the people know, what could be.

    I think the issue is something to appeal to the other delegates there in a floor fight if it comes to that, and someone Ron could pick without offending us likely wouldn't attract those delegates. So my thought was more, who could we bear, as second, that they might like....

    It isn't likely to be a problem we need to deal with, but if it were, we would need to buy leverage with it imho.

    Don't denigrate Ron's chances of winning in his own campaign forum

    any more than you would denigrate Massie's or anyone else's in their forum.

    Most people who do that are really trying to get people to take on THEIR projects or candidates, but that is not your decision, how other people than you spend their time.

    Why? Would she be purchasing the state? Does she even have liberty credentials? Methinks not.

    Whitman was a supporter of former Bain Capital founder and Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney's presidential campaign[50] in 2008 and was on his National Finance Team.[51] She was also listed as Finance co-chair of Romney's exploratory committee.[52] However, after Romney stepped out of the race and endorsed McCain, Whitman joined McCain's presidential campaign as a national co-chair.

    I'd take it. The powers to be may not let it last long, but Ron in office for even a short time would allow him to veto a number of bills.

    It would be a brilliant move by the campaign if they tried this. I doubt they will, but it could be a major game changer.


    If Ron is at the top of the ticket, I'm fine.
