Would a Romney Rubio 2012 ticket be the best bet for the GOP to unseat the President?

Romney and Rubio seem, to me, to be the best chance to win this election. Is this the Republican Party's perfect ticket?

    Yeah, Romney/Rubio makes sense to me. Rubio has some Tea Party cred, helping Romney hold the base. He's from Florida, a major swing state. And I'm sure the Republicans would also love to take some Hispanic votes away from Obama, though I think that's wishful thinking.

    There's always a lot of talk about the VP pick, but in terms of the actual election, it doesn't make much of a difference. People vote for (or against) the people at the top of the ticket.

    I don't think Romney has the best chance to beat obama. He's less conservative and has a worse record than many republicans like. So if they're not enthusiastic enough, it would be another McCain. Personally, I think given the opportunity to go head-to-head in debates with Obama, Gingrich would be the most likely to win. Because of Gingrich's grasp on the facts and the way he speaks, he would do very well in debates.

    Even Bachmann or Santorum may have a good chance against Obama in a general election. Right now, they just aren't given enough media exposure for people to know one way or the other.

    And almost anyone other than Palin would do well against Biden in a debate.

    I like Rubio a lot. He'd definitely be a plus for the ticket.

    LOL!

    Thanks for the chuckle!

    No.

    The Republicans have ALREADY seen to it that Obama will be re-elected, which I'm sure is a great weight off of his mind...
