Salvage. And much like McCain's choice of Palin as his running mate that energized Conservatives, we have yet to see who Mitt might choose to run with - hopefully Allen West.
I hope that doesn’t happen. I hope Allen West doesn’t have to carry the stench of Romney with him for the rest of his political career. I can’t forget what the McCain/Romney group did to Palin. The socialist wing of the republican party has not met a single conservative they haven’t wanted to destroy.
Under the fool me once theory, the addition of West to the ticket won’t help Romney anywhere near what Palin did for McCain, simply because we’ve seen that trick before. Those who are already going to hold their nose for Romney might feel better about themselves, but those who know what a socialist Romney is, also know that nothing would change. Allen West at the top of the ticket would be fantastic though.
