Petraeus for VP?

Drudge has a source that says that President Obama has a source the Governor Romney has picked General Petraeus to be the VP.

This is intriguing, although I doubt it is true.

First, if there was such a source that close to Romney to get that information, it would be close to traitorous to share it with Obama. (Unless it was a Secret Service person. That is conceivable, but a total violation of duties to share such a confidence.)

Second, while I would be impressed with a left-field pick from Romney, this one is too left-field. Starting with, the left. Petraeus is a Democrat. For five perfectly valid other reasons, read this.

But it all brings up an interesting point. Does Romney need a VP with a good military and international relations background?

And I'm not sure if this was meant to be funny, but the VEEPSTAKES BASICS is hilarious, and dead-on accurate.
