(Assuming they can find any)
This from the Twitter:
Advisers to President Barack Obama are scripting a Democratic National Convention featuring several Republicans in a prime-time appeal to independents and planning a blistering portrayal of Mitt Romney as a heartless aristocrat who would devastate the American middle class, Democratic sources tell POLITICO.
According to convention planning documents, the three-night convention in Charlotte, N.C., early next month will seek to [e]xpose Mitt Romney as someone who doesnt understand middle class challenges while also burnishing the Presidents image as someone whose life story is about fighting for middle class Americans and those working to get into the middle class.

Meanwhile, the GOP is apparently inviting Donald Trump to speak in Tampa.

No idea who they may be thinking about. Its an interesting gamble.

Stranger things have happened - especially if some of these guys really hate Willard as much as is rumored.

Maybe he will switch parties. He has no future with the (R)s anyways. To moderate.

Or quitting because of the retarded positions staked out by the nut jobs.
