Since Romney has not yet picked a running mate yet, I'll explain who he should pick based off his own traits. The key traits I'll be focusing on is that he is a white male, he is mormon, and he is not really a "game-changing" candidate. First off, America has had plenty of white male presidents in the past, actually all but one! So what I think is an important thing for Romney to do is pick a mate that is some sort of a minority whether a woman or another race. Because by doing so that can gain votes from that selected group or even more. Also, what makes Romney somewhat of a game changer is that he is a Mormon and it would be the first time if he was elected there would be a Mormon president. So what he should do to counteract this so he does not lose the republican catholic or Lutheran vote he should have either a catholic or Lutheran running mate. And lastly Romney is a very typical candidate who just looks like a president and the public wants to see more than that. So what Romney needs to do for that is to find someone who really sticks out, because the public likes people who stand out. And so far most of the potential candidates for vice president are what the press calls game changers. So with those three things in mind, my personal favorite is Marco Rubio. He fits all the traits I think that Romney needs he is of Hispanic race, he is a catholic, and he is somewhat of a game changer because people say he does not have much experience but he is a senator of Florida which is an important swing state that is a key battleground for the presidency. So if Romney could gain a major Hispanic vote along with the Florida vote, it would be very key for him. So I believe that Mitt Romney should pick Marco Rubio as a running mate for the 2012 presidential election.
