Romney needs to assume the conservatives are in the bag.
The battle for this election will be the middle-of-the-road folks who voted for Obama in 2008.
We must steal votes from Obama, otherwise look for 0 to squeak by with a win.
Sarah Palin is clearly smart enough to see that, and apparently smarter than some Freepers. Condi would NEVER be my first, second, or third choice, but Daffy Duck, Scarface, or Walter White would be preferable to Joe Biden and that insufferable oaf of a president we have now.
Are you an idiot or do you just play on on teh internets?
Condi brings nothing to the ticket. Bush the Younger got a second term because Rove sent people into the Black churches in Ohio talking about Kerry’s support for killing babies, and gay marriage. Bush’s increase in Black votes was greater than the margin he won by in Ohio. If he lost Ohio, Florida didn’t matter. So, Black Christians gave Bush his second term.
Black Christians are disappointed with Obama over these things as well as amnesty for aliens who have destroyed jobs Blacks used to use to move into the middle class. Condi is pro-abortion, pro-amnesty, and anti-Israel. Why would Black Christians switch to her?
Her anti-Israel views will also reverse the momentum Republicans have in the Jewish community. Why should Jews switch from one anti-Israel politician to another?
Add to these facts the white Christians who will stay home or vote third party and it makes no sense to pick Condi or anyone like her.
Lee Atwater once told me; “You can’t out Democrat a Democrat. You have to offer a stark contrast.” That’s what Mitt needs in a VP; a solid conservative who stands in stark contrast to Obama and Biden.
