(84,711 posts)6. That would be interesting. My first thought was if Jeb Fails in the Polls that
Mitt would step in as the Nominee. Given Mitt's money he wouldn't need much to secure the nomination if Jeb fails.
Mitt could pick one of the Young TeaPartier supported candidates for VP and be a shoe in for the Nomination. IF JEB FAILS to get the Poll Numbers he needs.
