The man who killed John Bolton's re-nomination at the U.N.
Yeah, that's a real winner.

If they switch positions on the ticket, I will take him.

Who HASN’T been on Romney’s VP radar?

Drudge says it’s decided and then leads to a story about Pawlenty.

Pawlenty, Portman, Thune. Probably three of the most boring guys on our side.
But the Boston brain trust knows what it’s doing. Just look at the polls. They’re losing to Jimmy Carter 2.0.

Pawlenty, who sat on his hands while a senate seat was stolen.
Yeah, we need this dork like we need a hole in the head.

Other than having nice hair and being a big improvement on Tom Thumb Daschle, what has John Thune actually accomplished?

I don't know a lot about Thune. His bio and record is pretty conservative. But he's a frequent guest on Greta, and he comes off as non confrontational and weak.

Imagine John Thune getting the crowd fired up at the Convention and out in the dust bowl!
Imagine ... oh, never mind
Or as Willard would say “My Goodness..!”

I just posted a comment in response to Drudge’s poll: None of the Above.
Every damn one of them is a fake conservative, a RINO in shabby disguise. And at least two of them are not Natural Born Citizens.
He knows that the conservative base wants a conservative, but he is completely unwilling to pick a real conservative—or to step aside and let a real conservative be candidate for POTUS. And the GOPe is entirely with him on this.

South Dakota’s 3 electoral votes could be critical if it comes down to the wire, and Ford only carried the state by 4400 votes in 1976 so it can’t be taken for granted. The Republican candidate actually lost the state as recently as 1936.

All of this is a head fake, I think it will be Rubio (yes Rubio is NBC) although I prefer Martinez.

Drudge doesn’t know squat. He’s just guessing. His source in the Romney camp (Matt Rhoades) is not involved in the VP selection process. They are just playing with the news media.

You are going to have a whole host of FReepers who will disagree with you here regarding Rubio being Natural Born.

I know John Thune and even went to high school with his cousins. However, Thune has been a shill for the ethanol lobby and even slipped in more ethanol subsidy money into the budget deal last fall. He was taken to task on this by Laura Ingraham. He is not my choice for VP and I think Condi Rice has more to offer.
