Thune is "acceptable" on paper, but if he's Romney's pick I'll probably end up voting for Virgil Goode. I live in Illinois so my vote doesn't matter anyway and I'm simply not going to reward that jack@$$ Thune after he stabbed Bolton in the back.

On the plus side, from reading the comments on this thread, it looks like freepers are FINALLY starting to sour on empty-suit pretty boy Thune (took them long enough), or at least his fan club hasn't discovered this thread yet. I got really tired of them telling us how he deserves a promotion because he beat a Democrat 8 years ago and looks physically attractive.

Gotta love how Thune's fan club (and conversely, the Chris Christie haters) break their OWN rules about how "RINOs are acceptable in BLUE states... we should focus on making sure our Republicans in RED states are loyal, solid conservatives... blah blah blah"

Thune reaches across the aisle more than I would like.

Paul Ryan is on the very short list, and he would be a terrific choice.

Palin made me happier to vote for McPain.

But in hindsight it shouldn’t have mattered. As VP she either would have been the loyal trooper or else been frozen out, either way irrelevant.

I don’t think anyone McPain could have picked would have changed my vote to 3P other than maybe LIARMAN, what a disaster that would have been.
