Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Romney considering female running mate
The main stream media is reporting Ann Romney as saying that Mitt is considering a female running mate. My deitylike powers of deduction hint that if this is the case, it's probably Michele Bachmann. My question is, in light of what happened with Sarah Palin, would this be a good or bad decision on Mitt's part?
Please discuss.

Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
If he chooses Bachmann, that will be the last nail in the coffin.
Which might be a good thing because then Obama will win and we can hopefully begin reconstruction within our lifetimes.
Suicide. The right is desperate to be next on the "all new" bandwagon and put a woman in office since putting a black guy in office has "already been done". I love Bachmann, but she was already crucified in the media and really she's the only woman that might appeal to voters. Romney, like McCain, has weak support from true conservatives, this is just a ploy to them saying "see, here is your true conservative".

Except that "within our lifetimes" will become months instead of years. Anyone that thinks revolution is somehow going to be bloodless is talkin' foolishness. If the same percentage of the population dies in the next civil war that died in the first one that will be 9.1 MILLION people.Originally Posted by Wiggity

A World Without Guns <- Great Read!
Lots of assumptions being made here, but that is okay.
People die whether or not there is a revolution. I'd rather die doing something worth while than rotting away.
Well, I assume that unless Romney stops playing the Kerry flip flop game that we'll have another 4 years of Obama. He blows like the wind and no running mate is going to fix that, so he needs to get his head in the game, stop screwing around, pick a strong conservative WHITE MAN running mate and get to winning. And, no, I'm neither racist nor sexist, but many are and we don't need anything to hurt us (or in the case of Cain/Palin, screw us over royally).

Does no one here understand how a presidential election works? I don't mean to dig on you guys in anyway- I think the same way as you and support the same beliefs, but damn, some of you aren't really getting it, are you? There are three sides to each election, there's the right, the left, and the middle. The right is usually expected to vote right, the left is usually expected to vote left, and the middle is undecided and that is who the other two sides have to fight for. Romney needs to figure out a way, be it by promises and policy, or by a running mate, to get the most undecided "middle" votes to win. That's it! You can say "he's already pissed off the far right" but he doesn't need them as badly as he needs the- what is the figure now? 40%- middle votes to sway in his favor. He can't please everyone, hell he can't be expected to please all of the people in his own party, but he doesn't need to, he just need to convince those in the middle to choose him instead of Obama. And goddammit we need those people to not vote for Obama!

Not gonna speculate on this. But I'd bet there are other female candidates ahead of Bachmann on Romney's "female VP" short list.
Condi Rice or Susan Martinez would be a couple of my guesses. But I'd also think after the McCain/Palin fiasco he'd be a little gunshy on picking a woman.

I'd like to see him pick Condoleezza Rice, but doubt she's interested. I think that would do his ticket some good, and I like her.
