To quote our man Herman Cain, I don’t have the facts to back this up but…

I am sure that Romney is the prime choice of the GOP establishemnt, but they know they will have a hard time selling him to their own base, so they are hoping to use him as a VP candidate to balance out whichever right-wing fundamentalist does get the nomination.

If that’s the case, it’s only because they seriously fear that either the base will simply stay home on Election Day or a far-right third party will run a candidate and suck up just enough of the vote to tilt things in Obama’s favor.

Both are understandable fears, considering the Clinton years.
