Liberal Activists Float Gordon Gekko As Romney's Running Mate

A coalition of progressive groups are floating a running mate for GOP frontrunner Mitt Romney: Gordon Gekko.

Gekko, the notoriously greedy fictional character from the 1987 Oliver Stone film Wall Street, is being used to highlight Romney’s past as the CEO Bain Capital, a firm known for reselling businesses after they laid off workers.

Activists from MoveOn.Org, Americans United for Change and Concerned New Yorkers plan on holding a mock “Romney-Gekko 2012” campaign rally outside of a New York fundraiser for the Presidential hopeful Wednesday.
