“My short list of convention speakers would include Rick Santorum, Clint Eastwood, Sarah Palin, Herman Cain, Newt Ginrich, Dennis Miller, Marco Rubio, Paul Ryan and Michelle Bachman.”
Except for Palin (and maybe even including her), I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re soon attacked for any or all of the rest of your choices. Circular firing squad.
I wouldn’t complain about any of the conservatives on that list, though there’s no way they would all speak in the ‘big tent’.
Martinez and Haley are the only speakers listed on the official list who even moderately interest me, though.
Yeah, the desire to cannibalize here is amazing at times but I’ll put up a list as well:
Scott Walker, Chris Christie, Mike Huckabee, Paul Ryan, Susana Martinez, Clint Eastwood, Allen West, and then the ticket.
Some of these you guys don’t like but they each demonstrate the ability to tenaciously support their more conservative parts of their beliefs. A lot of white guys even on my list.
