A Mitch McConnell/Chris Christie combination would be insane. But, fortunately, Larry Kudlow meant Bob McDONNell, not our zombie-esque, charisma-deficient Senate Minority Leader.
But that combination is still crazy. Why choose candidates from two non-crucial states instead of John Kasich and Marco Rubio from must-win Ohio and Florida?
In any case, if Romney loses Michigan to Santorum it won’t be solely because Romney is awful but also because Santorum is very good at convincing people to vote for him, even when outspent 20 to 1 — an ideal trait for a politician, which should propel Santorum to the nomination and probably the presidency.
McConnell/Chris Christie = Wimp/Blimp in ‘12
Reason # 2): Neither of Marco Rubio's parents were citizens of the USA when he was born.
Next ticket please.
Unfortunately, Kasich would probably throw Ohio to Obama. His approval rating has been 35-40% for the better part of a year.
