It would be a stupid ticket. The VP slot should be used to boost young talent; Michael Steele would do well.

An excellent choice that I honestly hadn't thought of. But this year it looks more and more like the Veep spot will be reserved for someone to pull in the base. It looks like the Republicans are going to try to win the Whitehouse by veering left and drawing from Clinton or Obama.

To his credit, Bush has always known that the right had the numbers to make it work. When he veered left it was out of a combination of principle and sloppy thinking, not populist pandering.

It would be a stupid ticket. True. And the party line choir here on FR would be demanding we cross that apocryphal broken glass to vote for it.

After all, as long as the GOP nominee is .00000001% more conservative than the Dem, we must vote for him, or we're traitorous hippie scum.

"...The VP slot should be used to boost young talent; Michael Steele would do well..."

And garner every one of Maryland's eight electoral votes.
