The VP is for show because he ain’t winning against Barry.
He is a very weak candidate, chosen because of that. He has NOTHING to debate Barry with. Barry won’t have to break a sweat debating mitt - when they start just showing his performance for a supposed ‘businessman’ as gov in MA - it’s over for him. He’s never been without media support - so all his cushions are pulled from him. He never had a real debate. In the debates he surrounded himself with his protectors and he spoke talking points fashion and the media moderators favored him so he was treated gently. His a POS candidate and when barry starts on him, he will go in stutter mode.
The Obama plan is to attack the racist history of Mormonism. Romney will be humiliated and disgraced by his association with Mormonism. They can also use this to associate the GOP with racism which they love to do. This is why the media wants Romney to get the nomination.
If Ron Paul gets the nomination then Obama would be forced to explain and defend the Fed which makes a select group ultra rich and powerful. Obama would have to defend his broken promise to bring the troops home in 16 months. Obama would have to debate the constitution, economics and liberty...none of which he can do. Obama would have to defend the debt, no budget, wars waged not with congressional support but with the support of the ‘international community’, and on and on.
So, who does the GOP push and who do so called conservatives support? Romney. The GOP, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. When will people learn?
