The "veepstakes" speculation is in full swing:

Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey is signaling that if called, he will serve.

Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin has his fan club.

Ohio Sen. Rob Portman let slip to ABC News that he's being intensely vetted.

With Virginia in play, popular Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell is being mentioned.

Ann Romney's seemingly offhand comment that a pro-life woman was under consideration to be Mitt Romney's running mate pulled in names like New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte, South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (who, as an Indian-American and a woman, counts as a two-fer in diversity points), and even former eBay CEO Meg Whitman, who lost the race for governor of California in 2010.

But if you ask me, the best choice for Romney's vice president is former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.

What does Romney want in a vice president?

The first rule in picking a vice presidential candidate is: Do no harm.

Romney ideally would pick someone whom voters will trust to be president if he (or she) must assume the office. (Although, for someone with Romney's relative youth and vigor, that's less important than it was for, say, John McCain.)

Romney needs someone who is an experienced campaigner, who won't make mistakes that hurt the campaign. The presidential campaign in the fall is not a good time or place to road test a candidate.

Running mates don't usually help you win an election, but they can help you lose one.

Romney needs to avoid McCain's mistake of picking a running mate who is more interesting and attracts more attention that he does.

Huckabee fits the bill perfectly. He not a guy to scare anyone, he's run the presidential gauntlet and been fully vetted, and while a pleasant and interesting man, he is a familiar enough figure on the national scene not to outshine Mitt Romney with novelty.

What's the difference, they're all controlled by the same faceless, corrupt bankster handlers behind the scenes who never get voted out. It's all bullshit to the core. Unless the shilitary step in and protects the constitution RIGHT NOW and arrests THE ELITE NWO HANDLERS THEMSELVES (which won't happen), we are f*cked.

Mittens could choose Lord Jesus Christ as his running mate and still lose.

Republicans (and Democrats) are stupid..

The Libertarian party is the future.

I think you are right but Huckabee would never go for it. Huckabee is an Evangelical Christian and they usually don't accept Mormonism as a Christian religion.

But, but, but... Jesus can make miracles! chuckle

The dem-rep merry-go-round sucks - it's a civil cold war for the masses and a show for the elites. I believe that the US needs the 3rd strong option.

It ain't over till the fat lady sings.

Huckababy is nothing. Anyone remember back when he ran for President and was in the lead, a shoe in for the Nomination. Then he said he'd end the Federal Reserve and return the Power to Mint Currency Back to the Congress where the Constitution puts it, the next day all the Polls had him in last place, next thing you know he's dropping out of the race and went to work with his own Network talk show where he basically has big name performers on every week and he plays bass with them.

this is interesting
you watch how fast Huckster runs toward that position if he's asked. You watch how fast he'll overlook religious issues

same with other evangelical "Christians"
these people crack me up

It's all a big game of what is the Emperor wearing today. I wanna be the one to weave that beautiful suit of invisible silk. chuckle

Huckabee is of the closeted class of republican... Weirdly effeminate. That's a loser ticket.
