Yesterday, Mitt Romney took in the national Republican primary, picked up five states and will almost certainly become the 2012 Republican presidential nominee. The national press is speculating about his potential running mate, as Romney makes appearances with various Republicans

Who do you think Romney should choose as his vice president? Take our poll and add your thoughts in the comments.

Whoever it is (and let it not be any of the last five listed), I just hope they are vetted thoroughly. We don't need an Eagleton/Quayle/Palin situation, and we need someone qualified in that second seat in case Romney actually wins . . . as unlikely as that is.

Sebastian -
Somehow, your comments from last night on the Newtown Patch site (http://newtown.patch.com/articles/newtown-budget-vote-today) seem to have disappeared. Did you do that? And we were having such a nice discussion... It actually reminded me of Sarah Palin's quitting as governor so she could "advance in another direction".

If he picks Christie he may have a chance, any of these other chumps then he might as well throw his nomination away. Who the hell is Marco Rubio??

From linked article_______ "The victims “have a financial uncertainty, they need the…Read More money,” Feinberg said. “You have to say, ‘Here’s the money, here’s what we’re doing with it.’” Some Newtown families say that didn't happen in their town. Lafferty-Hassinger posted to Facebook her frustration about the United Way requiring "proof of hardship" to determine how to distribute funds: "We shouldn't have to fight for what is rightfully ours, but we won't be taken advantage of in our darkest hour," she wrote. "We've all been walking a fine line between not wanting to profit from the death of our loved ones and not wanting someone else to profit from our source of grief. We went down when we were kicked, but we are Sandy Hook. It's time to stand back up."___________ I reckon my questions are thusly: What financial uncertainty is there in the death of a child, AND since when did money that is donated privately become something that is 'rightfully' belonging to someone else due to a tragedy that is not a natural event like a tornado or hurricane?
