College Conservative Movement

Potential VP candidates

Mike Pence- Being at Purdue, I hear a lot about this guy. He is a conservative's conservative. He has a strong conservative voting record.

Mitt Romney - How do you bring in the alienated Romney supporters? Work their candidate into your campaign. I know they hate each other... but I think they could settle their differences for the sake of the country.

Ken Blackwell - He has raised his stock as a conservative voice in america. Ken Blackwell, referred to as a black version of Ronald Reagan on this blog, could reassure many voters.

Steve Forbes - He is another businessman. Many would welcome adding a businessman to the administration.

Newt Gingrich - He is one of the most intellectual conservatives out there. He helped orchestrate the conservative takeover of congress. He is slightly polarizing, but I think that compared to McCain, he doesn't have much of a problem there.

Huckabee - No way this happens. He would alienate the conservatives in the party even more than they already are.

Fred Thompson - He would be an excellent choice. He is very conservative. His does carry a bit of baggage with his history as a lobbyist and some marriage issues. He is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations which has drawn criticism.

Interesting note:
Council on Foreign Relations members:
1) Dick Cheney
2) John McCain
3) Joe Lieberman
4) Fred Thompson
5) Newt Gingrich
6) Alan Greenspan
7) Bill Clinton
8) Jimmy Carter

They do all seem to be helping each other... Fred Thompson, Newt Gingrich, and Joe Lieberman all helped to get McCain in.
