It would be a close debate. Once it was over and fact checkers sorted through all of Biden's false facts she would be the clear winner and I think she's a dolt.

Romney is like a golfer going into the 18th hole with a three stroke lead. He's going to play it safe.
Right. It's the Democrats fault that certain popular conservative women candidates are loopy and ill suited for the highest public offices.
I thought Republicans were all about personal responsibility? How about giving us a decent choice instead of crying in your beer.
And at least Democrats cloak their criticism in comedy -- pretty easy to distinguish (MSNBC aside, and it's not as if anybody watches that channel anyway). Faux News etc. presents theirs as legitimate news.

Loopy and ill-suited are certainly opinions, not facts. Your mental template of what is good and proper is not everyone's - including mine. And of course, the Left really wants to help out the Right by finding the best candidate to run against. I'd think the Left would be begging for Bachmann if she's so terrible, not suggesting she be left off the ticket.

On the other hand, if you ask for something and end up getting it, you have nobody to blame for it but yourself. So there's that.

Palin and Bachmann are loopy and ill suited. There's little disagreement on this, even among a lot of Republicans. Rice, though I don't like her, is not. Palin and Bachmann have been lambasted, deservedly so. The left has been kinder to Rice. Though she's endured her share of criticism, it's been more policy driven.

If he were to pick a woman as VP on the ticket, I think Rice has a far better chance than Bachmann......but he will pick Rubio in the end.

While I'm not a fan of anyone being discussed here I do think Condi Rice could be an interesting choice, although I still think a Bush 2 association is not something the Republican Party is overjoyed about. It was a mere 4 years ago that he left office under a considerable collection of dark clouds. That said, she's an accomplished woman, well educated, African American...definitely some positive attributes to bring to the ticket.
Bachmann is a joke and the response of most conservatives on this thread to that effect is heartening.

I really admire Rice - and she gets called an "Aunt Thomasina" by the Blacks on the Left for not being a Liberal (same for "Uncle Tom" Colin Powell before he went over to the other side and then they embraced him). Rice has said many times that she has no interest in running for office. Looking at the insanity of a national campaign, the vicious public attacks on the candidates and their families (even moreso with today's online bloggers), and the intrusive media hounds, she has ample reasons to stay above the fray. Seems to me that only leaves the less intelligent power-hungry egomaniacs who are willing to throw their hats into the ring. Great system!
The "fact" that many consider Bachmann loopy doesn't in itself make it true. The Left is welcome to their opinion. They wouldn't vote for her regardless, as they also wouldn't vote for Rice.

I don't think it will be Rubio (quite frankly I am tired of US senators) Portman seems to be the guy

In response to that report 3 weeks ago, Romney said Rubio is being vetted

Doesn't really mean he's being considered. I have no idea if he is or not, but I'm skeptical of any reports in the press at this point.

I think Rice would be a good choice in terms of competence. The reality of identity politics, though, suggest to me she would be less helpful overall than Rubio. The Hispanic vote is very much in play now and going forward. It would be good for Republicans to steal a march on Dems on this issue. I don't know that the black vote is really as much in play. But I have to admit, I haven't seen any polling on it. Maybe it is.

Be careful about lumping together all of the Hispanic voting blocs. Rubio is Cuban American, not Mexican American or (pardon my own clumsy lumping) South American, and while us white folk think that's all one in the same, the various groups mentioned see differences and don't assume a Cuban Tea Party member represents them all by a long shot.
And not to belabor the point, but Bachmann is a highly problematic candidate and she would definitely help sink the GOP ticket, make no mistake.

I have mentioned that before in this forum so I agree of course...I'm not sure the Hispanic vote is that much in play either, with Romney as the candiate, and some of the stands he has taken....
Bachman is 'interesting'....
