If voting actually mattered, is a Romney/Rubio ticket enough to take Obama out of the throne?

Personally I think the voting system in america is fraudulent, but im aware that some folks might see it differently so I pose this question. IYO can a Romney/Rubio secure a presidential bid this fall, with Rubio galvanizing the hispanic american base much like Obama did in 08 when blacks came out en masse to vote for him. I voted Obama not only because he appeared to be the better candidate(I considered my views to be more liberal at the time), but also as a black man how could I not? So im saying that to say this, do you think that Romney can get the nod if he takes Rubio as a running mate?

    Not sure if Republicans should pick Rubio, Hispanics don't like Republicans much these days. Rubio supports some limited amnesty but the GOP will make sure he changes those beliefs in the general election, and I think that's the reason Rubio doesn't want to be a VP pick anyway, as he has said before. I voted for Obama but won't vote for him again, and many people feel the same way, and that's the real reason Republicans have a chance this year. Obama has disappointed too many people, of all races, so it's gonna be a tight election, no matter who Romney picks as his VP. I predict Obama will win by a narrow margin, but if the economy gets any worse, Obama is done. He isn't motivating his base as he used to.

    Obama is in real trouble this re-election, he campaigned in a stadium with tons of empty seats today lol....

    To be fair, Romney campaigns in half empty stadiums all the time, but Obama didn't have this problem in 2008. His base is slowly abandoning him, what happened to the hope and "change"? I haven't seen any real change from Bush's days, nothing meaningful at all. SMH

    Very true, this is Obama's best hope for winning again. But to set a campaign on "the other guy is worse" isn't very inspiring.

    This ? didn't just post a link from Breitbart.com as a credible source smh

    @ Marvin's room, Paul will NEVER be a vp selection let alone nominated on behalf of the republican party. He doesn't toe the party line and he can't be bought by corporations. Besides his stance on on foreign affairs and the so-called "war on drugs" his policies is garbage.

    Obama gon win by default. I aint voting for dude again, though. Matter fact, I'm never voting again period. Obama a ? . Republicans got dude so shook, he placates them too much. He's still better than any and every republican out there so I'll just let nature take its course and have our ignant population vote him back into office
