Interesting that you mention Col. Allen West.

Michael Savage said on his show last night that Col. West would be Romney's best possible pick to get over the finish line.

I said the same thing in this forum two weeks before.

But seriously, the GOP establishment will not allow an open convention in Tampa when Romney goes into the convention with more than enough delegates to clinch on the first ballot. He's less than 200 away from that point right now and they haven't even allocated most of the 72 delegates from Pennsylvania where he resounding won last month.

“Michael Savage said on his show last night that Col. West would be Romney’s best possible pick to get over the finish line.”

We have to stop looking at Veep nominees like this. Or at all, really, except to apply the “what if Romney drops dead” test. When was the last time the running mate made a difference? LBJ under JFK, maybe. The rest of the time they’ve only deserved notice by exciting the base a la Palin (as if conservatives would’ve voted for Obama; I know, it’s all about turnout and blah, blah, blah, but I’m guessing the people who Palin turned out would’ve turned out anyway), or as laughing stocks a la Quayle/Biden.

” - - - But seriously, the GOP establishment will not allow an open convention in Tampa - - - “

That is because the RINO Political Party is VERY comfortable designing a path that INSURES failure.

Failure leaves tracks, especially when the path they are following takes them into the financial abyss.

Change to a RINO might bring about their extinction, in their minds.

Party on, RINOs! Party on - - - - -
