Pat's VP appointment proves beyond all doubt that Pat Buchanan believes in putting America and conservative principles first all the time and on every issue.

Maybe when Pat writes him memoirs we will find out who his first (or second, or third) choice for a running mate was.
But I don't mean to bash Pat. I voted for him.

Pat's first choice was former Rep. Tom Coburn, a conservative Republican who probably would have joined the ticket had Buchanan remained at 8-16% where he was early in the campaign and not sunk to 2% in the polls by convention time. Incidentally, I successfully predicted Buchanan's VP choice about a week or two in advance. I said that she would be the logical fall-back choice if his first-tier candidates fell through.

Good question but if there were others, I'll bet they were all good pro-life conservatives.
