Mitt names possible Number Twos
"Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney on Thursday dropped some names of potential running mates in the 2008 race," reports the Los Angeles Times.
"Among those Romney mentioned for the second slot on the Republican ticket were three Southerners: South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich of Georgia, and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.
"'There's some wonderful people right here in this state, as you know, Gov. Sanford being one of them,' said Romney, formerly governor of Massachusetts, to a round of applause. He had been asked about vice presidential picks by a member of a crowd of about 400 people gathered for his campaign stop in the earlyvoting state."
