Now that the election is over, this article is truly unnecessary. The people listed in the article were never "candidates" in any way, but rather prominent Republicans whose names were mentioned by media pundits. The article is just what the media saw in their WP:CRYSTALBALL, not encyclopedic material. Besides my opposition to the inclusion of the meaningless prognostications of the media's talking heads—several of these "candidates" had clearly declined interest months before the announcement, and others (Trump) are nonsense—there is no need for a separate article for this information. Mitt Romney presidential campaign, 2012#Vice-presidential selection could easily be expanded with prose with what information isn't already there, as well as a few shortlisted candidates; a photo gallery is unnecessary.

Merge to Mitt Romney presidential campaign, 2012 as detailed by User:Postdlf. Per Postdlf's arguments, the content has lasting encyclopedic value, but probably not so much as to justify an entire article (and certainly not a picture gallery!). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ddcm8991 ( talk • contribs) 17:49, 29 November 2012 (UTC) reply
