I heard Juan Williams say he thinks Romney should pick Condeleeza Rice, not Rubio as a running mate. I don't think that beats Obama/Biden, but could make things more interesting.

Ok RJ, I'm really curious how you know 95+% of Catholics use birth control?
Does anal count?
No longer referred to this when discussing the unprotected variety. ELC's entry into the OGBoards lexicon requires that this act now be referred to as "rawdogging the mudslide."
She'd be a good pick up. Great pick up in fact. She definitely has some haters out there, but she's one of the few people with high-level experience under Bush who doesn't have a hugely negative reputation. She brings a ton of foreign policy experience which would help Romney's weaknesses. We don't know much about where she stands on domestic issues so we can't run point/counterpoint with her and some version of Romney. He could pick up some ground with women by flanking himself with his wife and Condi who are more personable and likable than him.

Obama is up 7% in VA.
I think the consensus polling shows that Obama is ahead in every one of those 7 "tossup" states. Here is Real Clear Politics' numbers.....and I've always found RCP to be somewhat slanted toward the Republicans. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Clear_Politics
