Maybe their wheelchairs can’t go fast enough to run? Otherwise, I’m sure they’d haul them out again.
That said, the list wasn’t entirely bad (they did mention Palin) and probably includes the only possibles.
I still think that Gingrich will probably get it, especially if Romney gets knocked out in MI (which is why Gingrich isn’t campaigning there, so that the conservative vote won’t be divided and can all go to Santorum, who may not be very conservative in a lot of ways but is certainly more so than Romney).
However, if he doesn’t, I’d pick Rubio as the best one from this list, possibly with Palin - if she’s interested, which I’m still not convinced she is.
The problems with Marco Rubio remind me of some of the problems with an Obama candidacy in 2008: Inexperienced senator, good orator but hasn’t accomplished much of anything, favored because of his minority status and probably not a natural born citizen, due to a parent or parents not being US citizens at his birth. But other than those few trifling matters, let’s nominate him!
