Romney to appear in Dayton tommorow

[bdude]

On the frontpage of above website. Implications of this pick? Does it put Michigan into play?

 

[QED]

From what I understand, all of his finalists are set to appear with him in Dayton-- so the fact Romney in there doesn't necessarily imply he's the selection.

I'm still not quite understanding how Romney on the ticket puts Michigan into play-- is there some Romney-Michigan connection that I am unaware of?

 

[bdude]

Hm, but how ridiculous would that be to have all the losers of the vp race appear on stage right there...
Romney's dad was gov. of Mich. as I understand it, and was quite popular.

Romney's father was Governor of Michigan some time ago. He won Michigan in the primaries over McCain too. Add that to the fact that Michigan has the worst economy in the country out of all 50 states and Mitt's financial background and leadership and he gives the dems a run for their money in Michigan.

Apparently it is NOT Pawlenty. Perhaps a huge head-fake in the making from Mr. McCain.

Humm, if ALL his picks are going to be there, maybe he'll have the crowd pick his running mate, kind of like American Idol.

Puts his hand over Romney, if you want Mit cheer.
Puts Hand over Pawlenty, If you want Tim, cheer.
and so forth.

Maybe McBush knows nobody will show up unless it's a surprise unveiling?

It's that darn'd enthusiasm gap.

if it's Romney, McCain deserves to be humiliated in November.

You mean America won't elect a couple of hundred-millionaires to the White House?

I don't want to start another thread but how bad is this Gustav hurricane? USAToday is reporting that the GOP may delay their convention if it hits.

It doesn't look too good, although I'm getting the feeling it's going to shift more toward Texas, probably Galveston. I think they may delay it anyway as a precaution.

Gustav is a blessing in disguise for the GOP. It means the news stations will spend less time covering how uninspiring their convention is.

In some cases (and especially when it comes to McSame), the less America knows going into November, the better off the GOP is.

Which is why Obama laid out exactly what his "change" is going to be with specifics in his speech. The only thing anybody got out of that speech is "not Bush, not McCain". Talk about informing America, stuffing her belly with information!

Too bad they didn't come up with some text message so we get your maketing info scam and plan to launch it at 8am; said scam totally failing when the networks start reporting the nominee selection 8 hours before not withstanding.
