It sounds like Romney doesn’t pull any punches. If he attacks Obama with anything like this kind of fervor, it should be interesting to see whether he can make a dent in the Messiah’s numbers. I’m a Santorum guy, but I’ve always been curious as to whether McCain could have won in 2008 if he (1) hadn’t signed on for Federal financing, thereby ensuring he would be outspent 3 to 1 and (2) had relentlessly attacked Obama for his radical connections, instead of holding back in the interest of an unfair and one-sided “civility”. I think there are two ways for Romney to get the base energized. One is to pick a conservative VP - Ryan, Rubio, Palin, Santorum or Gingrich would do it. Another is to pick a non-conservative, but go nuclear on Obama, the way he went after his opponents in the GOP primaries.

Going by Mitt's record in MA, he'll want a running mate who will be subservient to him. You think McCain's people muzzled Sarah? Watch Mitt.

In a word, no.

I don't care who Myth's VP would be. It's the top of the ticket that matters and I refuse to vote for Miss Congenality again.

Either a conservative drives the bus or I find a different ride. And any conservative who tries to put earrings on the hog known as Myth Romney by running with him is dead to me.

For too long the Republican Party has treated conservatives like battered spouses. We'll come back because we have nowhere else to go. No more.

Myth Romney needs me a hell of a lot more than I need him, but he's gone out of his way to give me the middle finger. Fine. There's a consequence for that.
