You are so right. I think Romney has encouraged the buzz about the VP slot so that these surrogates get coverage (because the press is convinced they are “auditions”).
I think that is why the Condi leak happened as well. I don’t doubt that she was originally on a list due to her foreign policy expertise, but I also know that she said many times she wouldn’t do it. However, leaking her name got her on a couple of talk shows where she nicely lambasted Obama’s foreign policy.
Once again Miss M you covet my prize.
Your prognostication skills are quite keen.
I think the Condi leak was very deliberate and for the reasons you said.
And for once Juan Williams got something right. He said that the leak went to Drudge, NOT any liberal outlets.
Yes, I’m quite sure Mittens’ people leaked the Condi tidbit for some coverage.
They need to get working on fighting Obama.
I’ll end here by remarking on my husband’s shout out from his man cave upon hearing all the talk about Romney releasing his tax returns....he said, my mild-mannered guy...”WHY DOESN’T ROMNY SAID HE’ll RELEASE HIS TAX RETURNS WHEN OBAMA RELEASES HIS COLLEGE TRANSCRIPTS”?
Somebody phone up the Mittens’ campaign and tell them to read this thread.
We got it all figured out.
The Condi talk is a diversion, but a good one.
She’s so out of left field that it got coverage.
I like Condi and would love to see more of her. She’s the best dresser and looks fabulous in her clothes. Admittedly, this is not that important. Most Republican women look well-dressed at all times, but Condi is special in that department.
However, and this is a huge however, she is moderately pro-choice. Romney cannot take this chance as he has been falsely painted as being pro-choice himself.
