Weeding Out the Crazy

Mitt Romney won the Republican nomination simply because every one of his opponents demonstrated that they were unstable in some way. The only exception was Jon Huntsman, and he didn't appeal to the party base. That makes it difficult for Romney to choose advocates to speak at the convention. Rick Perry might show up drunk. Michele Bachmann might arrive with a list of communists in the State Department. Ron Paul might ask the nation, "how many of you party with heroin?"

So, Romney is left with the worst National Security Adviser in the history of the country (Condi Rice), two of the most unpopular governors in the country (Rick Scott and John Kasich), the toxic Rick Santorum, the absolutely nutty Rand Paul, and the cantankerous John McCain.

The remainder of the roster includes the female governors of South Carolina (Haley), Oklahoma (Fallin), and New Mexico (Martinez), Mike Huckabee and Jeb Bush.

If you think about it, the only speaker other than Romney who comes from north of the Mason-Dixon line is John Kasich. I guess Condi has some coastal cred from her time in Palo Alto, but the rest of this crew is purely southern or southwestern. The Democrats' Keynote speaker is from San Antonio.

It's a sad lineup, but I can't say that I could have done much better in weeding out the Crazy. I predict that things will not go well.

2. If You Weed Out the Crazy From the Republican Party There Would be Nobody Left

The Repig base doesn't like Rmoney very much because he is not crazy enough for them.
