Come January 21, 2013 there will be a new team on the job

You think Romney will be any different on this issue?

My guess is that he will pick Rubio as his running mate. Rubio is giddy with glee over this unconstitutional usurpation of power by Obama.

I'm sticking with my position but Obama and his running dog lackeys are outta' there. It could be Romney. It might should be somebody else ~ maybe even a Republican.

Here in Virginia there have been several politically devastating plane crashes over the years that not only forced changes in the candidates, but changed politics for decades. John Warner got in after the death of Richard Obenshain. Senator Stevens went down the same way (he, BTW, grew up in Brightwood, an older neighborhood in Indianapolis ~ roughly the toughest Zip Code in Indiana). And who can forget that character in Minnesota where the Democrats did a riotous party in memory ~ good old what's his name ~ Pellstone, or was that Wellhhammer ~ something like that. So hard to remember.

Hale Boggs died in a plane crash. There are actually a good number more politicians who've bit the dirt, so to speak, while campaigning.

You guys who think there's no way your guy could lose it this way think of Richard Obenshain. I had a lot invested in him at the time. He and his father invented the Republican party in Virginia ~ made me think it was OK to move here.

Well, so much for that pol.

We have to have a backup for the current candidate.
