I saw a 5 minute interview with a guy who was in the race for about 5 days...but I was favorably impressed.

Anyone have an opinion on Thaddeus McCotter? The Wikipedia entry shows him all over the map.

Will Comrade Obama dump foot-in-the-mouth Biden?

McCotter is a populist. He's social conservative, pro-gun, and pro-life, but pro-union. He supported card check.

In his defense, his old district had a large part of Wayne County so he had to be.

the strategy appears to be smile, sit back, keep your noses clean and just wait for Team Obama to implode.

Sounds like a good strategy

I imagine that a debate between Paul Ryan and Joe Biden would be akin to a round of "Jeopardy" that pitted Professor Thomas Sowell against an American Standard Poodle.

In which case, Biden had better watch out: Obama might eat him.

He will do something conventional. It’ll probably be a woman and likely a minority woman. I expect she’ll be more liberal than Romney.

I’m betting if Condi Rice was interested in the job he’d offer it to her in a heart beat.

I first heard of him while watching Red Eye on Fox a few years back. McCotter is (or seems to be) an average Joe kind of guy with a wit so dry it would make Steven Wright seem like Sam Kinison, and I tossed a little support to him when he first announced his presidential run. And then he threw his support to Romney after he bailed leaving me with a sour taste. Make of that what you will.

He’s middle of the road with conservative tendencies. That’s the best way I can describe his political outlook. But being from Michigan, I guess has no choice and needs to be that way. Considering what could be in his seat, I don’t have tons to complain about. His voting record doesn’t reflect my stronger conservative views, but overall he is someone I wouldn’t mind seeing in the VP spot. (Doubt it will happen, though)

If he picks McDonnell, I will not only not vote for them, I will activel campaign against them. McDonnell is the worst governor I have seen in Virginia and Doug Wilder and Tim Kaine are both on the list.

Valerie Jarret? no Romney won’t pick her. First she is more liberal than Romney but she has a job, Obama’s handler.

Maybe Romney will pick Jon Huntsman for the all-Mormon ticket.

C'mon Wolf... I know you don't like McDonnell and have read your contention about the light rail... but "worst" .. you're saying he's even worse than those two guys?
