For that matter I don't think I would like to be a speaker at this convention either. Funny but the big winner here is Palin.

(17,064 posts)The GOP is going to be left as a leaderless clusterfuck following a November debacle. JEB steps up... hes not as stupid as Rmoney, hes not as extreme as Ryan, he has some appeal to hispanics, tea-baggers don't hate him, he'll have establishment and money behind him...

(25,270 posts)but right now they have to get through the convention. Rmoney picking Ryan is going to take lying to a whole new level in Tampa. There will be a lot of crossed fingers behind the speakers back because I don't think they would even believe what they're going to have to say. Palin was cut out of the convention. They didn't want her to potentially go off the rail in any speech she would give. I'm sure when they told her she would't be speaking she was bummed. Then Rmoney chose Ryan. Now I'm thinking that Palin is thanking her lucky stars & laughing all the way to Wasila.

(17,064 posts)She's rented a storefront near the convention site. Can't pass up the opportunity for a little panhandling and media attention. I doubt she'll be credentialled for the convention, tho. Theres enough problems with the paulbots, the teabaggers who hate rMoney, and the establishment strategists who see Ryan as a noose hanging over down-ticket races. Its going to be a real barnyard.

(14,275 posts)Hell, they cancelled a day of that convention so McCain could pretend he was dealing with the economic catastrophe his party had brought on.
It can't be as bad as that was.
