Who should Mitt Romney pick for VP?
Romney needs a running mate that can help him connect with an important American demographic group he's struggled to connecting with, no not Latinos or women, although he admittedly does not speak neither Spanish nor woman speak. I'm referring to the peasant class, that troublesome rabble that makes up the working class has proven elusive for Romney. Where can he find a fellow millionaire than has the necessary commoner facade?

Rush Limbaugh may be able to pull off the facade. All he has to be is the guy the common drones would like to have a beer with.

You mean that millionaire Romney has to speak the language of jobs when campaigning against multi-millionaire Obama who did a serious piece of his growing up at a home of a bank executive in Hawaii?
(It's always been amusing to me how some dems want to paint Obama as this poor man who connects with the people. Do you folks read his books or just buy them and put them on the shelf?)
Romney can speak the language of the common man in a single word - JOBS.
Just as a reminder, the unemployment rate when Obama took office was 6.7% Now after 5 trillion in federal deficit spending (adding more to the deficit in 3 years than Bush II did in 8) it is ONLY 8.2% and this despite the more than 88 million U.S. adults (about 25% of the entire population of the US) who are no longer in the work force and the wide spread and well documented underemployment problem.
(I won't even dwell on the 10.7% unemployment we suffered through shortly after Obama promised us it wouldn't get over 8 if we passed the stimulous.)
As a politial pundit pointed out, if you hired a doctor to take care of your fever of 102, he worked for three years and it swelled to 109 before dropping back to "only 104, you would be a fool to keep him after 4 years. That's Obama in a nutshell.
As for who he'll pick, my guess is that it will be someone from the southern states - perhap the Louisiana governor if he'd consider it. There's a guy who can provide first person reports on how Obama's failed energy and environmental policies are costing us jobs right there.
