Please not the Grim Brewer. But she would make a great VP pick; that would get her the f**K out of Arizona. The gov of Wisconsin came here last week and is making big plans to destroy all public unions, even fire and police.

Up to now, it seems as though the algorythm has been: whomever lost the last "straw poll" or "caucus" (or maybe it was whomever came in second...or was it third....???

Wait... I know! It's whomever has the most (least?) wives...

Most flip-flops???

OK! I'll pick Herman McGingmann!

I predicted it all along and it will come true.

I fear who they will draft as his running mate!

They seem to be pining for Reagan, and Lincoln is someone pretty much everyone supports...

Romney - NotRomney - Romney - NotRomney

So it's back to Romney. After that, who knows? Maybe Paul's moment will finally come.

he might be making headway now - Romney's electability doesn't seem as credible is it was a few weeks ago, and the moderates/elites might be looking for someone more likeable and independent-friendly.

but could upset Romney in MI.

Newt is done, but should stay in through Super Tuesday to pick up a big bag of delegates in GA. There are no new frontrunners that can emerge. Raul had his chance in ME and came up short.
