Mitt Romney (Former Massachusetts Governor)

Update: Idono, abichara's post seems a little dated. Bush picked Dick Cheney for what?
To carry Wyoming? VP candidates haven't done well carrying their home
states recently. I don't consider Tennessee a battle ground state
either. Much to the chagrin of John Kerry, North Carolina didn't work
out. Romney would unite the Republican party, McCain would entice the
moderates. Sounds like a plan to me. Reagan picked Bush 41 as VP, they
weren't exactly two peas in a pod.
The economy will be an important issue, having Romney on the ticket would blunt the criticism that will be pointed at McCain.
