What if nobody wants to be Mitt's VP choice? What then?

[magical thyme]

The GOP is visibly and audibly distancing themselves from Mittens.

What sane person would accept a ticket on the sinking Mittanic?

[tabasco]

1. What sane person calls themselves a republican these days?

He'll find some shit-for-brains like himself.

[NNN0LHI]

2. The RNC will "draft" someone they have dirt on and tell them to take it or else

[Rosa Luxemburg]

3. There's always Sarah Palin

[valerief]

6. Yep. For all we know, Willard got an offer he couldn't refuse. nt

[magical thyme]

14. nah. Anne told us it was their turn.

They were entitled to it. Wonder how she's liking running the gauntlet this week...

[valerief]

15. His Catherine the Great is too busy with her horseys to care. nt

[Volaris]

16. Ohhhhhhhhhh.....DAYAAM

but you made me laugh today. And upon further reflection, I need Brain Bleach.

[Curtland1015]

4. Vote Romney\Pile of socks 2012!

[HooptieWagon]

5. Theres no chance a sane puke will board this trainwreck,

Jeb, for instance. However, theres a lot of narcisistic crazies who would jump at the chance.

[treestar]

7. Yep, look at how Palin made it into an attention getting and money making opportunity

It'll be some narcissistic crazy all right.

[HooptieWagon]

10. Yep. Slick Willard needs to rally the fundies and baggers

to his side to avoid a floor fight at the convention. Bachman is the kind of veep pick that would do that.

[magical thyme]

12. hmmm...Crazy Eyes and Slick Willard. Can you see them on the stump together?

gaaaah. pass the brain bleach please

[HooptieWagon]

18. Yep, but its not for our eyes.

GOP knows we're not voting for them no matter what candidates they run. They'd like to get as many swing voters as possible, but if they don't get the base to show up on election day their down ticket is toast. Mitt has to pick a veep that rallies the base in order to avoid a floor fight that leaves him weakened coming out of the convention. GOP is going to demand a veep pick that fires up the base to turn out in Nov, and votes R down ticket. It may not be Bachman, but it will be a fundy-bagger.

[magical thyme]

19. and they need one crazy, stupid & narcissistic enough to run. that leaves only the fundy-baggers.

and Bachman could be favored to nail down the wymmins vote.

[surrealAmerican]

8. Lucky for them, the republican party is full of ...

... potential VP candidates who are somewhat less than sane.


They might not get their first choice, but there's always someone.

[randome]

9. Ann Romney for VP.

[Safetykitten]

11. You underestimate the republican mind. Twisted like a fine piece of jewelry, many would love it.

[bigtree]

13. that's when a 'Palin' shows up

'out of the box'

[Honeycombe8]

17. There is ALWAYS someone who wants 15 minutes of fame. It's a springboard to bigger things

down the road.
