If he's angling for VP, he shouldn't be going against the party line so hard this close to the election. If he's going for 2016, this seems like a fine idea.

- Alex3917 14y agoHe actually just endorsed Romney a couple days ago, after the two had a private meeting. I don't think it's necessarily likely that he'll get the VP slot, but I do think that if that's his goal then he is going just enough against the platform to stand out in a positive way right now.
- mayneack 14y agoDon't get me wrong, there's certainly a >0% chance that he'll be VP, but I don't think this will help at all. He doesn't have to worry about going against the platform enough. If he really wants VP he has to worry about going too far outside. It's really hard to answer the inevitable question of "Why did you introduce a bill in June that is directly opposed to Governor Romney's position on drone security?" That is, assuming (which I think is safe to do) that Romney is in favor of these drones.
