It was announced this morning that Beth Myers – a longtime Romney aide – will be leading the former-Massachusetts governor’s search for a running mate for the upcoming presidential election. Neither Romney nor Myers has yet to give any indication of who the early favorites may be, leading many to continue speculating about who Mitt will tap to help with his imminent battle against President Obama.
Here at the Cornell Insider, we decided to conduct a little search of our own; we’re looking for the “Ideal 2012 Running Mate.” All this week, our writers will be discussing who they would like to see on the ticket alongside Governor Romney. They will highlight specific issues that will be important in Myers’ ultimate decision, from targeting certain demographics to securing votes in key swing states. They will accentuate the political capital of each potential Vice President, while also considering their liabilities. All of this will lead up to the unveiling of the Insider’s “Ideal 2012 Running Mate” – an accumulation of the very best of each potential Vice President tied together into one candidate.
