Is that smug, smirking a-hole from New Hampshire who thinks his business grew out of a vacuum of his own awesomeness.
It makes a perfect balance of Yin and Yan -- Mitt's vapid, phoney, shit-eating grin paired with that jerk's smirk. Perfection!

but Rmoney just might be up to it. It would be the perfect monument to his monumental arrogance and detachment from "us people".

McCain was nowhere near as screwed at this point, as Romney is, but he chose Palin as a desperate ploy to win Democrats and undecideds and women.

HUGE difference for President Obama's campaign, who chose someone for his experience for VP. Swing voters should note that... Romney is choosing someone he HOPES will save his ass, just as McCain did.

But you know the media is going to ask, well they'd better ask, how many years of returns Romney demanded for VP hopefuls. That has to be a question in the debates, at least.
