Running with Romney


I believe that the most important traits Romney should look for are whether the candidate will enhance his status in the eye of the public, whether he or she will appeal to young people, the future of America, and as much as I absolutely hate to admit, I truly believe that the attractiveness of the person adds as well. Romney does not seem like a very charismatic person especially compared to Barack Obama so I truly believe that he should look for someone who can get the people excited and bring some charm to the election in his favor, also the young people, the future, those that may be their first time voting, or the first time in the job force, the backbone of America’s future, I believe he should consider greatly because these are people that are most likely going to be affected directly, and finally America is a very vain country, they go a lot by visual, and I hate to admit it but I have always felt that American goes by the sight too much, even while deciding a position of office.

After closely reviewing all of the potential candidates, I honestly feel that the best option for Romney, is the young, 40-year old Florida Senator Marco Rubio. Here you have a young, energetic, intelligent, highly respected young man. He appeals to the ultra-conservative Tea Party voters and the Latinos as well. Romney instantly has a rock-star kind of Vice President, you have a well-loved guy, he will add pizazz to the campaign, the kind that I don’t believe that Romney will ever have, and plus he will appeal to the Latino culture and the young people which I feel will help his campaign very much. On the flip side, I’m not saying he is a bad choice at all, I just don’t think he’s the right one, and that’s Bob McDonnell. Romney already has issues with his “gender gap” and with the apparent “ultrasound issue” that McDonnell, the Virgina governor dealt with, would probably already take Romney out of the women’s favor, which is about half of the voters right there. He doesn’t seem to add to Romney’s character, and I don’t believe that he will compliment Romney’s campaign well at all.
