Here's a news flash....they are ALL FLAWED. It is just to what degree.......I LIKE straight up people.......not good with politics/
pretense and pandering. Christie seems straight up and comfortable within his own skin,he KNOWS himself,his flaws and his strong
points. A politician is a politician is a politician........BUT one who is solid to the core is rare these days.....Cheney(altho I disliked
his platform,was a solid individual,no pretense,no waffling,just what you see is what you get.).......this fubar we are mired in will
take YEARS to at least a decade to correct itself and I do NOT thing any ONE person will be able to turn the ship around,it will
take a NON PARTISAN HERCULEAN EFFORT.....JMO
And if Romney wins the nomination, (and he surely will), the wackos on the Right will STILL be saying "We lost because we nominated another 'moderate'...We should have gone with Santorum and that would have won us the election."....And they will go even further to the Right next time...
Any pol that has any aspirations to become president will not accept any nomination for VP from the current crop of R's running for president for fear that they will ruin any chance they would have to become president in the future. Kind of like when no one wanted to be named McCain's running mate and he had to go all the way down the list to Palin.

I see 2012 as a lose/lose situation for any GOP VP candidate. If the Republicans lose the presidency they get labeled as a losing candidate. If the Republicans win the presidency they are VP to a president who will probably be voted out in 2016 and their opportunity will be lost. I just can't see any of the current GOP candidates having much staying power.
OK, give me an estimate, how much will the Republicans lose the presidency by in 2012? 70-30%? Worse than McCain V. Obama? Worse than Clinton V. Dole?
