This Romneybot is thrilled with this pick.
So much for your theory.
With all due respect to Romneybots, it should be noted that there are differing degrees of Romneybot-ism ranging from the emotionally invested sycophants who have a seriously worrisome “Obama messiah” attachment to Flip, to those who just feel he would be the best choice but don’t spend their days and nights dreaming of Mitt. Glad to hear you fall in that latter category.
I’m with you. I’ve always liked Mitt. I was rooting for Mitt for the top spot. I’ve been liking Sarah since she was first brought up some months ago on this site, but I didn’t think there was a hope it would actually come about.
I think this is a recognition that there is little bench strength in the pub party and it’s time to start putting some talented Triple-A players in the big league starting lineup. I really, really like that. I don’t think he could have made a better choice, and that gives me a better opinion of his decision making skills, almost a bigger plus than the fact that I like the pick.
And, McCain has some health issues. I’ve been saying all along that this was a very important decision for us, more important than normal, because he could fade healthwise.
Imagine if something happened to Obama — we’d have that grinning jackass in our faces day and night. If something, God Forbid happened to McCain we’d have just the right person at just the right time.
