A significant portion of Mittens' campaign brain trust, this time out, is comprised of bumblers and maladroits fresh from the epic exercise in failure and humiliation that was the McCain '08 (*snort*) "juggernaut"... so: no surprises, there. ;)

And if he loses the reaction will be the same. Blame the VP choice.

And if he loses the reaction will be the same. Blame the VP choice.

Absolutely. To repeat something posted elsewhere hereabouts, earlier this A.M.:

"In desperation, as the conservative voting base's lack of enthusiasm becomes increasingly and undeniably palpable, throw them a 'sop' in the form of a sacrificial conservative in the VP slot -- Palin last time out, Ryan this year. (This handily serves a double purpose. as it gives the Karl Rove/National Review GOP-e faction somebody to blame, after the fact, for their anointed CINO du jour's inevitable electoral thumping in the general. I honestly don't envy poor Ryan the shabby treatment he'll doubtless be receiving at the hands of supposed friends and political compatriots, just a few short months from now.)"
