Drudge - ROMNEY NARROWS VP CHOICES; CONDI EMERGES AS FRONTRUNNER

[Anti Federalist]

Single women go to Obama at a 2 to 1 ratio over Romney. As much as I don't like Romney, that huge disparity isn't entirely all his fault. Single women voters appear to be suckers for Obama's emotional pleas to heal the oceans and feed the destitute.

And blacks went, what was it, 98% for Obama last time?

If anybody is thinking that this will shift either of those demographics, they've got stones in their head.

<<<looks around>>>

Did Jesse Benton go to work for Romney last week or something?

we can all sleep tight knowing Mitt's team will test each and every option availible via his focus panel and rest assured, they will figure out exactly what you and I want to hear and proceed to tell us.

 

[anaconda]

then pick Bondi.

She's a state attorney general which might possibly be a new record for lack of credentials to be VP.

 

[Plague-of-Locutus]

I really haven't looked up or seen examples where Condi plays the part of attack dog, especially for Romney.

However, I have seen Ron Paul play that part in debates and do it well.

Isn't that a desired trait in a VP nominee ?

^This. My guess is that Mittens himself has very little say in the matter.

 

[anaconda]

Lisa Murkowski?

 

[jbauer]

Well....

Atleast Rand can run in '16. Lets hope the boat is still afloat by then.

 

[RonPaulMall]

then pick Bondi.

What evidence do you have that a woman candidate would help sway women voters? A physically attractive male candidate is far more likely to sway women voters than a good looking "conservative" woman candidate. Attractive women politicians turn off other female voters. Women are more likely to support a good looking man. Romney is already good looking enough on his own to entice married women voters. Single women tend to vote Democratic because single women are the greatest beneficiaries of state and local welfare benefits that Democrats champion, and there is nothing the GOP can do to sway them.

I am NOT surprised that Rice was in 1st place with the regular GOP who watch FOX 24/7. All that fear-mongering and hate toward Muslims has them crazed with fear that Iranians are going to nuke the U.S. any second if we don't take Iran out first. As for moderates who don't pay attention to politics, all they know is that Rice was Secretary of State, like Hillary and carries herself well. They don't have a clue that Rice was the top Vulcan out of a slew of unsavory vulcans. They just know she appears ladylike and smart and was Secretary of State. And some of THEM might like that she is black. The neocons will forgive Rice for being black because she won't be soft on any Muslims or Russia.

There is a bestselling book called Rise of the Vulcans about Bush and the foreign advisers Bush put together before he began campaigning. The foreign advisers were nicknamed the Vulcans and Rice was the "top Vulcan". Bush and Rice began putting together Bush's strategy in 1998. After Bush was elected, the Vulcans were appointed to top positions on Bush's cabinet. I expect they will get the same from Romney.


The infamous Project for the New American Century, the think tank formed in 1997, had significant Vulcan membership

Information about the Vulcans and Rice and how Bush appointed ALL OF THEM to top cabinet positions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Vulcans

Is there ANY doubt that Romney and Bibi are about to Iraq Iran?

My own opinion.

Do I...do I laugh or cry here?

Cry for liberty!

 

[cindy25]

would the delegates vote for pro-choice Condi or pro-life Rand?

no delegate is bound for VP; McCain wanted Lieberman , not Palin

as for Bondi, she would show Romney is serious about getting rid of RomneyObamacare

 

[Anti Federalist]

Mark Levin is disapprove.

The Romney camp is just grabbing headlines.

 

[coffeewithchess]

The Romney camp is just grabbing headlines.

This. Get some other news out, that isn't a negative on Romney. Good politics, even if not true. Keeps the "conservative" public in their zombie "wonder mode" with mouths hanging open drooling, thinking "Anybody but Obama! Anybody but Obama!" and they don't focus on the fact that Romney and Obama are the same...and the last effective VP was?
Let's look at Al Gore? Dick Cheney? How about Vice President Biden?

If the Romney campaign is having to "leak" this info for news, what in the world will the election look like...

 

[CaptUSA]

This is nothing...

The Romney camp knows that if they want to win, they have to appeal to Ron Paul voters. There is no other way. The only question, then, is do they really want to win.

If they do, they will put Ron Paul on the ticket and let him loose. Romney will say, "I don't agree with everything this guy stands for, but I need someone like him at the highest levels in my administration advising me. We have to fix our fiscal house." Then Ron will go off message and Romney will stand a good chance of actually winning. They know that Ron Paul has already passed the "Can he be President?" test. They also know he'll have little power.

Rand won't have the same effect.

So now it comes down to one question: Do they really want to win? We'll find out soon enough. With Ron Paul, they have a chance. With anyone else, they're sunk. And they know it.

I thought the nominee picked the VP?

 

[AJ Antimony]

I thought the nominee picked the VP?

If the nominee is smart, he will have his list of favorites, but then it's off to the staff to vet and analyze which one will be the best choice.

If the nominee is dumb, as in McCain's case, the staff will veto his pick(s), and then make and vet a list of their own.

 

[neocontroll]

Wow this is depressing. Neocons never learn. My ironic RPF handle is suddenly less funny. Friday the 13th sucks.

I think the GOP just doesn't understand that they need the Paul voters in order to win. This shouldn't be a surprise.

After all, this is the same GOP that actually nominated, in a landslide, the single least credible Republican in the entire country to challenge Obama on Obamacare.
