How about Nikki Haley she would solve both problems?

Nikki Haley is having serious poll problems right now. And has made more than a few beginners' mistakes. Romney might go there since she did endorse him and presumably there was some sort of exchange of favors. But I don't think the favors will include the vp slot. It's a little too close to picking Palin. And Romney will want as few reminders of McCain as possible.

Maybe not, she is just another Palin and women did not like Palin because she made them look stupid.

I think I'm lost in too many things going on in that sentence. I don't think you mean that women did not like Palin because Palin was so smart and she made them look dumb. I think you rather mean that because Palin looked so dumb women, in general, though she made them look dumb.

Assuming the latter, I don't recall any women I know arguing that. Or even remotely showing signs of concluding that. I don't think they thought she reflected on them at all.

I don't know any smart, sane decent, Republican women. They all seem to be in the democratic pary.

Loaded adjectives of course. And, given other things you've posted here, it's the classic tautology at work, well even hard at work. But I've always thought the two Maine senators fit that reasonably well, if I forgave them their politics. No doubt, if I spent some time thinking about it, I might come up with some more names.

I like Megan McCaine.
