Good Advice for Mitt (from Larry Sabato)

In addition, Romney needs a partner on the campaign trail — arguably a lot more than most nominees-in-waiting in recent decades. No, not his wife Ann, but a strong, qualified vice-presidential pick to energize him and broaden his appeal. Romney should consider flouting conventional wisdom and choosing a VP shortly after the primaries conclude. He’s already running against a completed Democratic ticket. Why not get some help ASAP? A wise veep choice (translation: no white-bread sandwiches) could reframe the campaign and alter Romney’s bland narrative.
