However, in the meantime the governor of MA would get to appoint someone. I am not sure if Duval Patrick would get to appoint himself, but that would be a psycho drama to look forward to. You can’t blame Duval for wanting to run away from Massachusetts, a lot of things going wrong here. His do nothing inspectors did not notice that there was bacteria at the Ameridose company, they hire the next person on the list for government work here, one employee is just as good/bad as the next and it would be unfair to use MERIT for important jobs, and not diverse enough, for sure.

What?! Can’t be! I mean, wasn’t Patrick at the DNC in Charlotte talking about how Massachusetts was now the land of candy rainbows and gumdrop flowers and chocolate milk streams? How he’d turned it around from the neo-Syria that it had been when Mitt Romney was running the joint?

Andy Card was just on Fox and he’s fine with both of these tools.

Yep, and I’ll bet he wouldn’t be opposed to Jeb Bush winning in 2016 either.

Andy Card, Karl Rove, Newt, Santorum and the rest of the has beens need to go away.

A BIG PROBLEM with the GOP’s appeal is that they are still the party of George Bush.

If these people cared about the future of the party, conservatism, and the country they would go away.

If we’re truly sick of being caricatured by the liberal media machine we ought to stop giving legitimacy by linking to ridiculous organizations like Buzzfeed. Their tech stories and cutesy stuff, sure, but political articles? No thanks.

HotAir’s purpose is to generate hits and comments.

The writers and editors have no interest in conservatism.

They will cave and they would be wise to do so. Let Obama have his appointments. He’s going to cause destruction regardless of whoever he nominates.

I really couldn’t care less about these two appointments. What worries me most is the Supreme Court appointments. I pray to God Kennedy and Scalia don’t retire before 2016.

They need to fight this
The dems and lsm are going to bash anyways might as well fight hard
