Advice to would-be Romney running mates: Run for the hills

Since naked ambition is the only bipartisan trait left in politics, however, no one takes these sorts of demurrals seriously. When someone like former primary candidate Tim Pawlenty says “Take my name off the list” for the umpteenth time, everyone assumes that he is merely trying to protect himself from the embarrassment of a high-profile rejection. (In his case, the Iowa Straw Poll was bad enough.)

But what if all these Romney refusniks are actually telling the truth? What if they made a rational calculation and concluded that the upside--sharing the history books with Spiro Agnew, seats at the best international funerals--is not worth the cost if Romney loses in the fall? We could hardly blame them. The modern history of what happens to losing vice presidential nominees is enough to make any politician recoil in horror.

And chumps still want to vote for him. :2funny::2funny::2funny::2funny:

Could it be that these clowns want the top job instead of second fiddle? Pawlenty...really, he couldnt even hold off Bachman, so he was not even on the"real" list to begin with. Nobody could be a bigger goober than Biden and we all know why he got his job. He got it because Obozo did not want anyone to upstage him, otherwise he could have put Hillary in that job, and probably should have, because it showed everyone how much of a Putz he truly is. It is also going to cost him the election this time.

So, let me understand this. There is an article talking about VP candidates and how it destroys careers, this from the snippet you posted, and you want to say that somehow it reflects poorly on Romney? Is there something that I am missing?
BTW, I would be willing to bet that Sarah Palin is doing far better financially, and is having a huge effect on the national scene, after running as a VP candidate, thus being a significant exception to the rule. Not bad for a Hockey Mom from Wasilla, Alaska that many have tried to portray as stupid.

Right, how many people knew who Sarah was before her run.....it made her.
