in ‘12? or ‘16?
In 12 years. McCain looks likely to get the 2008 nomination and picks Hucleberry for VP. They get clobbered by HRC/Barry.
This quickly turns in to a C*F.
Then Mitt gets the nomination in 2012 because we never pick the person. We just default to the second guy in the primaries as the next nominee. And Mitt is the next next.
