There’s just not enough horse sense even in the republican base to understand why Cox is the perfect VP…

Given the choice between Cox/Romney for presidential nominee I’d have to support Cox.

I still am impressed with Romney, and I think his personality will contrast Biden so well that Biden will look like a rookie removing any “avenue/experience cred”(street cred just doesn’t describe obama/biden) that Biden lends to Obama.

That said… looking to 2011 should the worst happen… I hope we don’t have to see Nominee Mud Wrestling for a year between Huckster and Romney… I wish the conservative community would put the word out on Cox and push him onto the stage.

VP to “Mean Bob Dole”, who was nobody’s idea of a good guy to run against Clinton, but hey someone had to do it.

Monicagate had not happened yet and Newt and his merry men and women were busy with other stuff.

And gee, what good was he as a VP nominee? Let me think.

The MSM simply decided to do a hatchet job on him, and they were very powerful then.

Sure, blame it on the culture warrior. Blame it all on him because he dared speak out against the radical feminism of the time.

I remember it well.

Don’t you remember the ‘Read My Lips’ pledge that Bush the elder broke? Don’t you remember a third party Ross Perot who took a lot of votes from the Rs and allowed Bill Clinton to win with under 50% in a 3-way race? I remember.

Thanks to Skippy, or rather Bush I’s stubborn loyalty, we ended up with Bush loosing to Clinton. A strong attack dog VP in that race would have hit Clinton over the head time and time again over his morals, as it was, Skippy was too lightweight to do so.

Sorry, Skippy was a terrible candidate, a terrible VP and has disappeared from the landscape. If you’re comparing Cox to him, you are making a mistake, or you weren’t paying attention back in the late 80′s early 90′s.

Bush the elder made a huge mistake nominating Dan Quayle, who was destroyed, neigh gutted like a fish in the VP debate by Lloyd Bentsen.

All I can say is YIKES!

I especially like that he’s been at the forefront of enforcing SEC laws. This would take a huge talking point away from the dems. Fiscons will love him, and socons would too, based on his record.

I think you might be onto something here. He’s a relative unknown, which means the dems would have to do a lot of digging. Like Adam, I doubt he’s been vetted, so I don’t know if there’s enough time.

I’d be perfectly happy with Cox. I still like Romney’s fundraising abilities since that’s a real weakness of his, but as always I worry about the negatives Romney brings, even though I think the impact now would be far less than a couple of months ago.
