Tonight, the real story is that the repubican party is picking the guy who will lose badly to Obama

Everyone in this race, save Romney, is fodder. The repubican insiders see them in much the way we do - klowns. Romney is the big loser. The repubicans have *never* wanted him. They shut him out last time in favor of an old geezer to whom they kinda owed it. Now they're letting Romney have it because they know no repubican can win against Obama. All the *real* candidates are holding back until next time, to run against another non-incumbent. Biden, of course, won't run, so that leaves both the repubican and Democratic slots up for grabs. For the repubicans, that's as good a chance as they've had since Barbara Bush's defective spawn left the party all akimbo on a dirty barroom floor at 3 AM.

God's weather disaster machine on the Democratic Convention and the weather was fine? And then the GOP convention nearly got taken away? Some prophet.

I think they'll just play around at the GOP convention... Unless, like Jeb and George in 2000, they think they have a sure fix in the works... They've sure been working hard on that since then.
