Romney's VP pick could court youth

Governor Romney is the presumptive Republican nominee. In due course, he will likely rack up enough delegates to effectively run a national election campaign.

But as we have reported here, millennials take issue with many elements of the platform that he has adopted as a self-proclaimed genuine conservative candidate seeking the GOP nomination.

If President Obama's health care legislation is ruled unconstitutional, including the provisions providing coverage for young adults under their parents' plans and for patients with pre-existing medical conditions, Romney will likely experience a visible backlash among youth who have merely not followed his candidacy to date.

In addition to the list of moves that Wesley has proposed last month, Romney's VP pick, too, could potentially position him more strongly with the younger 18-29 demographic. One former Obama aide said Condoleezza Rice, the former Secretary of State, could bring new voters into the Romney camp.

Wesley, who are some other potential Romney VPs that could have appeal to the youth vote?
