Keeps going up
Now Obama 60.2 Romney 32.6
In one week the President's spread has gone up 6 points.
Also whereever there has been a Republican primary the President's chances for winning the state has improved significantly.
Romney can say good bye to his 'home state' Hew Hampshire;

So, who do you think Romney would pick for VP? I can't decide. But I think Newt might pick Santorum since he could bring a battleground state to the table. And he might bring in some Catholics and fundies.
So, Romney would have to go to the South for a VP. I can't see Newt on Romney's ticket. Perry was too glaringly stupid. So, out of the candidates I'm thinking Ron Paul might have a shot. But what about that woman governor? Haley? Could Romney overcome his LDS upbringing and choose a woman?

VPs could be either Daniels or McDonnel
