The Unlikeables: GOP Convention to Feature America’s Most Disliked Politicians

"SNIP...................................

Gov. Nikki Haley (SC) has been given a speaking slot even though her approval rating is 37%. Joining Haley on the national stage will be Ohio’s John Kasich. He has a 38% approval rating. Sen. Rand Paul does better than Haley and Kasich, but his approval rating is 42%. (Paul is still a better choice than Mitch McConnell, who has a 37% approval rating.)

Just in case any women were thinking about voting Republican, Gov. Bob McDonnell, who has seen his approval rating slide 9 points, will also be speaking.

Florida Gov. Rick Scott, who is the home state governor for the convention and thus had to be invited to speak, has a 40% approval to 51% disapproval rating. As bad as Rick Scott is, Rick Santorum and his 27% national approval rating are worse. On top of all of this, the Republican Party couldn’t resist trotting out at least one member of the family associated with two of the worst presidencies in recent history. Jeb Bush, who is popular with Republicans but tainted nationally, will also speak at the convention.

Speaking of the stench of failure, Sen. John McCain has been given a speaking slot, which will likely be dedicated to discussing Barack Obama’s failure to start more wars and bomb more countries.

1. Something is missing....

Let's see... what is it...

I got it! Their last highest elected members!!

2. Governor Vaginal Probe is speaking?

I mean McDonnell, of course.

Oddly, of course, he's a safer choice than many pols.

3. How the hell are they even competitive?

All the money on the world and they can't buy popularity. That campaign money must be going to bribe people who count votes in strategic areas.
