Why the heck does Tweety keep saying that Romney would deliver Michigan to McCain?

[book_worm]

I was just watching the Tweety Show and they were discussing McCain VP picks and Tweets said he thinks the pick will be Romney because he delivers Michigan and maybe PA to McCain. Why? First, Romney hasn't lived in MI for over 30 years. Second, his father was last Governor in 1968, how many people are still alive who remember Gov. Romney? Third, Sure Romney was born in MI but Bush was born in CT and that didn't do him any good.

I just don't see Michigan being blown away by Mittens being selected.

1. EXACTLY! Nobody would remember what Romney actually DID in Michigan. n/t

4. From what I understand Romney the father was a heck of alot better than Romney the son.

5. Its All The Amway People

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

:hi: :hug:

16. Notice nobody suggesting Romney would carry Massachusetts. n/t

[DS1]

8. Besides run a lot of people out of work for the benefit of his shareholders

[GCP]

10. Great minds think alike

I just wish the truth about how he made his millions would actually come out - leveraged buy-outs of firms in financial trouble, stripping of assets and workers laid off.
Huckabee at least knew what Mitty was really like.

2. The same way that Jeb 'delivered' FL to Junior...

Tweety's a putz-deluxe.

3. I guess because Romney won the GOP primary, but that's a different race

6. Governor Romney was very popular - supposedly people will vote for Mitt because of that.

7. Well sure he was popular in 1968

[polichick]

11. Yeah, but he was sort of "beloved" - and Michigan is a state...

...where people have long roots and a lot of pride. My Dem parents knew Gov. Romney and even they thought he was a great guy.

[book_worm]

13. but I think people can tell the difference between a father and son.

[polichick]

14. You would think - and yet he won their primary for no good reason.

9. "Wishful" .............. "Thinking"

12. Tweety is a huge fan of spouting CW whether it's based on facts or not.

Romney would be a horrible choice for McCain as VP. Because of McCain's age Repukes are going to be considering REALLY hard whether or not to vote for McCain based on his VP. They aren't going to vote for the chance of having a Mormon, ex- Pro Choice, ex- Gay Rights, ex- Governor of Mass. for president.

Plus, the pundits have forgotten how much of a ass-clown, and butt of all jokes Romney was during the primary.

15. I'll post this again-i'm sure Big headed spit machine Tweety knows all about it and approves.

17. Nostalgia for the good ol' days could make Romney look good...

Michigan is suffering ~ and things were rolling in the moter city back when dear ol' dad was in charge.

And the kid is a notable businessman.

[ColbertWatcher]

18. Why? Because he heard from somewhere else that it might be possible.

Of course, that person more than likely heard it on cable TV somewhere...

19. If Michigan is so precarios why hasn't Obama looked at Carl Levin for VP?

[yurbud]

20. more people there have mannequin fetishes? or a tendency to vote for people who look like the guy

who fired them?

[jazzjunkysue]

21. The jokes would be so much fun! A senile grandfather and a sleazy flip flopper

In those really sexy fundie undies!

Wonder if he could get Gramps into a pair!

22. Why PA?

I can sort of see some reasoning for Michigan, but why would Mitt deliver PA?

Just as an aside, wasn't Dad/Gov Romney the moderate Republican that the "librul media" character-assassinated over the "brainwashing" comment about Viet Nam?

[book_worm]

23. Good question, apparently Tweety thinks it's his credentials on the economy.

[notadmblnd]

24. Could be that they think Michiganians would vote for him out of loyalty to his father

who was at one time Michigan Governer.

25. That's like saying Bush will deliver Connecticut for McCain ...
