re: #28 aagcobb

Here’s a question to keep you awake at night. If Romney manages to win the GOP nomination by being the only perceived “moderate” in a field full of wingnuts, which wingnut would be his VP candidate to energize the base? I wouldn’t think Palin would play second banana; isn’t Bachmann the most prominent female teabagger after Palin?

Whoever it is, they’re gonna want someone who will play ball. McCain didn’t realize what he was unleashing when he added Palin—it was a Hail Mary move, involving an unknown. But Romney, or Insert the Moderate Republican of Your Choice, would have to be nuts to add a Bachmann. She won’t tone down, she won’t cooperate, and she has a long crazy record behind her.
