Mitt brings baggage. A large chunk of whatever money he brings with him will be spent on dispelling the baggage....a distraction that could hurt the ticket.

I personally think that it doesnt matter who the VP is......Quayle, Cheney, Al Gore........who cares. Candidates are elected based in large part on their own likeability, not their VP.
Agree with this. If Romney is such a great "play" why'd he get flattened in the primary, by a pretty lackluster and underfunded field, and with a huge head start and a lot more money? Romney was never in the race. His big wins were Michigan and Massachusettes, neither likely to go for the GOP anyway.
