In reply to the discussion: KO owns Noonan on ABC This Week [View all]Motown_Johnny
(22,308 posts)28. Rmoney is going to have a VP problem no matter what.
If they pick someone with business experience then it will just be a Rmoney light who adds nothing to the ticket.
If they pick someone with strong credentials outside of business then it makes Rmoney look inexperienced.
If they pick a strong Conservative it makes it harder for him to run to the middle. (If they pick a strong Christian Conservative it brings religion into the debate and he doesn't want that at all.)
If they pick a Moderate he alienates a portion of his base.
No matter who they pick he/she will need to debate VP Biden and there is a pretty good chance Joe will win that one (again).
There is no good choice for Rmoney's VP. I guess this is just what happens when your candidate sucks.

Her "I just want to yank it out of her" pace of speaking had the same effect on me.

This was his audition--if they ask him back and tell him to ramp it up a bit, I hope he will

I really didn't understand that exchange... I can find no "business background" for Portman.

He wants to be invited back. Good move on his part, restraint but killer with words

Is he going to be a regular? I hope so. I'd like him to give Noona a run for the money.

I don't watch any of them any more because they seem so one sided. I hope he is a regular
