Karl Rove

I was wrong about Dick Cheney…

We’ve entered the silly season when vast numbers of words will be expended on who Mitt Romney’s vice presidential running mate should be. Since the actual announcement is likely to be made shortly before the Aug. 31 GOP convention, we’ll have to endure three-and-a-half months of pundits handicapping prospects.

This exercise is largely useless. Who thought at this point in 2000 that the vice-presidential nominees would be Dick Cheney and Joe Lieberman, or in 2008 Sarah Palin and Joe Biden?

The person who matters most in this decision, Mr. Romney, appears to be approaching it with appropriate seriousness, appointing a longtime trusted aide, Beth Myers, to vet possible running mates.

Big enough for me to vote for him, and only time will tell if it is big enough to matter.

Doesn’t it come down to whether a person believes in the system? I don’t think the Right is prone to blanketly love any one person. The Rockefeller Republicans were very very unhappy with Pres. Reagan.

I think it’s funny that it goes unmentioned that Gov. Romney not only donated to Ms. O’Donnell but actually campaigned for her. She may not have been the best choice but she was the people’s choice and Gov. Romney respected it and I have admired him for it because it could not have been easy. Also funny because if the Republican Establishment had had their way, there would be no Marco Rubio to discuss, just some goofy Oompa-Loompa named Charlie Crist.

Yes! I also find it interesting that so many of the same people who continued to eviscerate O’Donnell AFTER she beat Castle out for the nomination, are the same ones who are screaming at us Romney skeptics to “coalesce” behind Romney and STFU about his negative aspects. Rove would have been fine to get on a discussion program and discuss O’Donnell’s negative points BEFORE she won the primary. He didn’t do that. He waited until AFTER she won the primary, and it became a self-fulfilling prophecy.

It wasn’t “shut up and support O’Donnell,” but now it’s “shut up and support Romney.” The irony and hypocrisy are incredible.
