The 2012 Veepstakes

Its the other big 'sporting' event this summer. Many are playing the guessing game, as to who his second in command might be, and lots of names are being tossed about as possible contenders, including a certain Junior U.S. Senator from New Hampshire.  We’ll look at this process, what it means for the Romney campaign, and who your choice would be.

Guests:

  • Dante Scala - Associate Professor of Political Science at UNH.
  • Andy Smith - Director of the UNH Survey Center.
  • Fergus Cullen - Principal of Fergus Cullen Communications. He’s former chairman of the New Hampshire Republican Party.

We'll also hear from...

  • Joel Goldstein - Professor of Law at St. Louis University and Author of The Modern American Vice Presidency: The Transformation of a Political Institution.
