And for those of you who thought that ROMNEY's rendition of "America the Beautiful" was bad, I give you this former candidate for governor of Tennessee:
Rand Paul is a remote possibility. No way will the running mate be Ron Paul.
mrs. myboynoah was asking who I thought Mitt would choose, which brought back memories of when "W" chose his running mate. Lots of speculation and names put out there, only to have him choose Chaney. Even now, it seems so totally bizarre. Even more bizarre is that "W" won not once, but twice with Chaney as his running mate.
OK, back to the topic. IMO Mitt needs to choose someone the Tea Party and Evangelicals love adore, preferably from one of the battleground states. We have Rubio from Florida. Who would be good from Pennsylvania (Santorum?) or Ohio?
Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!
For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

Sen. Rob Portman from Cincinnati area endorsed Romney and would probably be an option. I would love for him to choose Christie but he may not even deliver New Jersey and definitely wouldn't get the Evangelical/Tea Party motivated to vote.

I've read some narrative on Romney's comments which I think is more bothersome than the simple soundbite aspect of it. The substance of Romney's comments is simply to patch up the safety net if there are gaps. Frankly, I would support "I don't care about poor people" more (if that had, in fact, been all that Romney had said, which isn't true) than thinking that poor people are doing just fine living off the public dole. Of course, that's not the angle the Democrats will take -- which is why I don't think the comment in the end will have any effect on the outcome of a general election.
Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”
“There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again.”
