A story in today's Washington Post written by veteran columnist Al Kamen suggests that the Bilderberg Group may have a decisive role to play in picking Mitt Romney's running mate, continuing a recent trend in which the secretive cabal has had a direct influence on the U.S. presidential election.
"Curiously, not many senators seem to be going. In fact, it may be that the only one going from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee is Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), a possible vice presidential pick, who we’re told is flying commercial to attend," writes Kamen, adding that Rubio's presence could "help boost his foreign-policy chops" just as a visit with the clandestine Bilderberg Group was key in John Edwards being picked as John Kerry's number two in 2004.
In May 2008 it was reported that Former Fannie Mae CEO and Bilderberg member Jim Johnson had been asked by Obama to select his running mate. Johnson was also central in picking Edwards after his Bilderberg speech in 2004.

Edwards told the uber-secret global power brokers of “the insecurity of American workers that persists even when economic statistics” get better, the New York Times reported. (Might be a theme for Mitt Romney to pick up on if the economy is improving in the fall.)

Gov. Chris Christie spoke before religious leaders at the Shimon and Sara Birnbaum Jewish Community Center Wednesday to relay information about his “extraordinary week” visiting Israel.
Aside from some time spent sightseeing with his wife and children last week, Christie also met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Shimon Peres, he told invited religious leaders.
Christie is also planning to hold similar meetings in other locations around the state to discuss his trip.
They'd be dumb not to pick a Southerner. Bobby Jindal or Nikki Haley would be perfect. Southern, conservative, and brown.
As far as the Bilderberg thing goes, haven't we known this for a while now?
Why surprised?
Reminds us of a foreign jaunt made by another potential vice presidential pick back in 2004. That would be John Edwards , whose criminal trial is set to begin Thursday in Greensboro, N.C.

not really... Bilderberg is known for owning both sides of the voting box... just to give that extra feel that Democracy is still working
controlled opposition.
just like don King boxing
The article is about the Summit of the Americas and the only mention of Bilderberg is:
"Edwards gave a speech in June 2004 at the Bilderberg conference that was widely credited as one reason John Kerry chose him."
Granted it's cool to see the name "Bilderberg" in a mainstream news source but this thread is not really showing the truth.
Hey seabag, does Builderbergers really want Romney? Osama Obama might better fit their agenda. Just asking
