For all the ABR’s - why do you care who mittens picks since you are not voting for him anyway?
I am now in the ABO camp. The good news is that I do believe this is a trial balloon and nothing more.
For me it’s similar to where we were situated in ‘08 - looking at the dismal prospects of voting for a thug or a dufus and wondering if that dufus would do anything to ameliorate the situation. He did by selecting Sarah Palin.
Even though I recognize that VP is largely symbolic, choosing Palin demonstrated that his judgment and priorities weren’t completely screwed up.
We’re considerably worse off now, four years later, than we were with McScrooge. The stakes are higher and the cushion far thinner. We can’t afford to screw it up - but it looks like the GOP is determined to do precisely that. If it’s to be a repeat performance of pubbies falling flat on their faces I’d rather not participate.
Mittens could make this sh!t-sandwich palatable by choosing someone with depth, experience, and smarts. Or he could choose condi.
