Romney Speculation

No way Romney takes another Mormon as his VP candidate, especially one from Utah.

That's an excellent point. It's so obvious - I didn't even consider the "two Mormon's comin' at ya" talking point. That would sent the liberal MSM into an apoplectic rage. If we got lucky, they'd stroke out while hurling fabricated aspersions. Not that lucky.

Over the past several years, I've become a huge Trey Gowdy fan. And, although I think he is probably more valuable in other capacities, he's a bulldog with integrity and would make a great running mate.

Agree big time. Trey Gowdy is a "throw-back". He understands the Constitution, follows the law, defends and follows both the law and the Constitution - and makes no apologies for it. What a novel concept.

My only complaint about Gowdy is that he looks too much like this good ol' boy from the MWC hoops days:



Nothing against Steve McClain or Gowdy, but McClain did tend to look and act like a bit of a nutter, so every time I see a picture or video of Gowdy, my first thought, purely by association with his similarity to McClain is, "Hey, there's a nutter."

Probably not an issue outside of the MWC footprint, though.

Or within the MWC footprint to be perfectly honest.

So you're saying Harry Reid ought not submit a resume?

In the end, I don't think he runs. There are too many people entering the race to begin with, and he hated that part of it last time.

Also, I don't think it matters. The democrats have too many states "in the bag", including many of the more populous states. With CA, CT, DE, HI, IL, MD, MA, MI, MN, NJ, NY, OR, PA, RI, VT, WA, WI, and DC already in the bag, Democrats have 238 EC votes locked up. The only need 32 more votes from the other 33 states. If recently left leaning FL goes democrat, they need 3 more EC votes from 32 states. It's a pretty safe bet they pick up at least 1 from ME (more likely at least 2, if not all 4), and the election is over.

This doesn't count recently leaning left states OH, VA, and IA. (With those counted, including all of ME, the dems have 308 EC votes)

If Republicans can't turn FL, OH, VA and one or more of the following (PA, MI, MN, WI - All of whom have had recent republican governors, 2 of which don't right now) it's over before it even starts. And that's hoping the GOP doesn't lose NC, GA, and KS over the next 2 years.

As long as Hilary Clinton or Elizabeth Warren or whoever Obama throws his brilliant campaigning staff and skills behind (watch for Eric Holder here) don't come out and flat out say they're socialists (even though they are), they'll win pretty easily.

It's not so much that states are suddenly leaning more left than they have in the past, it's that Chicago politics have been introduced on the national level and voter fraud runs rampant. Voter ID's need to happen if we the people are ever to take back control of our country.
