“Michael Savage said on his show last night that Col. West would be Romney’s best possible pick to get over the finish line.”

We have to stop looking at Veep nominees like this. Or at all, really, except to apply the “what if Romney drops dead” test. When was the last time the running mate made a difference? LBJ under JFK, maybe. The rest of the time they’ve only deserved notice by exciting the base a la Palin (as if conservatives would’ve voted for Obama; I know, it’s all about turnout and blah, blah, blah, but I’m guessing the people who Palin turned out would’ve turned out anyway), or as laughing stocks a la Quayle/Biden.

Michael Savage is probably the best informed and best educated talk show host out there. Granted, he gets off his meds occasionally and can be downright explosive. But he does his research and know his stuff.

Col. West's ability to drag Mitt over the finish line is only part of the reason for Savage's suggestion. West also has a brilliant military mind and understanding of the Islamofacist mindset. He brings a military gravitas to the ticket which Romney is sorely lacking.
