Larry Sabato advises Romney to pick a "vanilla" RINO as VP.

On the May 23, 2012 addition of Fox & Friends, Larry Sabato advises Mitt Romney NOT to select a conservative running mate because "Obama has already united the base". This is the kind of disrespect the conservative majority receives from these leftist hi-jackers. It is getting worse, not better.

So the choice this Fall is between worshipping The Beast or The Anti-Christ. Some choice... (my video comment)

We don’t call him “Larry Sabotage” around here for nothing.

Gaaah....he annoys me to no end.

Note to Larry Sabo....

You may think your the brightest person on Earth, but you have been wrong in your advice more than you have been right.

Who is Larry Sabato? I don’t watch Fox News, is he some talking blow-hole?

Romney might ought to listen to what Fox News is saying, however. If it weren’t for Fox, he would not be the repug nominee.

I’m sick to death of people equating vanilla with bland, generic, or unexceptional. Vanilla is tasty, damnit! Just because it works well as a base and jumping off point for more complex flavors doesn’t mean it’s not a flavor itself. So far as ice cream is concerned, chocolate is nearly as much a jumping off point as is vanilla. You don’t often see people eating plain chocolate, is what I’m saying, or at least much more often than plain vanilla.

Yeah! What he said.

Publius should watch that entire interview. And type out word for word all 25,000 words.

Have it done in an hour, mmm-kay?

Sabotage has no interest in anyone remotely conservative winning. If anything, do the complete opposite. This guy makes a living feeding the press what the left wants him to say. Romney damned well better pick a rock-ribbed conservative for the ticket, unless he wants an already tenuous coalition to completely fly apart. Why oh why did we have to suit up a bunch of not-ready-for-primetime hacks, retreads and never-was’s in yet another election cycle?? Honestly, they all sucked, and we know it.

“Just because it works well as a base and jumping off point for more complex flavors doesn’t mean it’s not a flavor itself.”

Many years ago, when I was a kid, I went with my dad into Reed’s Ice Cream in Des Moines. They sold hand packed ice cream. Dad ordered a quart of Vanilla...the clerk behind the counter responded with...’What flavor?’

Guess it has always been that way. :)

I honestly don’t know who the odious Romney could pick, because we have been there and done that (when McCain picked Palin, who was the only one people voted for).

A good VP candidate is not enough to pull a lousy presidential candidate across the threshold, and Romney is about as lousy as you can get. He was picked by the RNC to appeal to liberals, but liberals have their own Dem candidate to vote for, so why should they vote for Romney?

The RNC called me for fundraising this morning. As the old saying went, Fuhgeddabahtit.

CONSERVATISM is the new vanilla.

Romney should pull NOW.

Then he should apologize, and let any of a number
of real conservatives run as an EXCITING CANDIDATE.

No matter how you slice it, conservatives just aren't as obsessed with colors as are liberals.

There is a reason that the smartest black people in America are on our side: Because we value brains over color.

Rats pick the dullest tool in the shed as VP and Big Media tells us how smart they are.

Repubs pick people at least as smart as themselves as VP and Big Media tells us they are morons.

A person primarily known because of his affiliation with "Mr. Jefferson's University," Larry Sabato should be deeply concerned with preserving the principles and ideas of Jefferson in the Year 2012 and making recommendations that would enhance that possibility.

Surely, he knows that the men who articulated the essential ideas of freedom in 1776 were not bland and unoffensive. They were outspoken advocates against tyranny in all its forms and on behalf of Creator-endowed individual liberty at all costs.

Since 1776, America never has needed such men more than now.

I expect this is what Romney will do. Keep smiling, don’t make waves, steer clear of controversy, just sit there and wait for Obama to implode.
