Do you mean Bachmann?

Never.
Wasn't Bachman sort of thrown out of the race because of her migraines? Didn't she recently accept Swiss citizenship? Wasn't she pretty outspoken about a lot of controversial extreme right issues? Isn't her image sort of like a smarter, less flexible, more evil Sarah Palin? How would such an extreme and outspoken person, who provokes strong opinions, mesh with Romney's more moderate chameleon-like style?
Presidential candidates usually pick vice presidential candidates who are side-kicks. They have to be competent and likeable, yet bland enough to fade into the background. They don't want them to eclipse them in the press, or be tempted to make politically motivated disclosures for their own advantage. The only exception is when the primary is close and the front runner needs to pick up another candidates delegates to win the nomination, and that is not the case this year.

But then there would be that pesky situation about the demonstrators against Hillary Clinton in Egypt saying they did so because they read on right wing websites about what Bachmann said:
"It appears that there has been deep penetration in the halls of our United States government by the Muslim Brotherhood,” Bachmann told radio host Sandy Rios in June. “It appears that there are individuals who are associated with the Muslim Brotherhood who have positions, very sensitive positions, in our Department of Justice, our Department of Homeland Security, potentially even in the National Intelligence Agency."

God told Michele, Rick Perry AND Rick Santorum to run for president.
The only thing that proves is that God has a great sense of humor.

Vice Presidential candidates seldom make or break a campaign.

No, but if he picks the hilarious Bauchwoman the campaign will much more fun.

If Mitt did that then I think Obama would offer to pay for Mitt's new car elevator.

Didn't Bachman just say the other day that illegal aliens are okay so long as they are "good citizens"?
Oh wait -- that was the ballerina running Chicago who made that gaffe.

I don't think she would be an asset to him.
