My wife, who is to the right of me (truly frightening if you knew me) say the GOP should go with Mitt because he looks presidential. When I point out that he is not a conservative and is a RINO at best, she gives me that Cuban stare and says "Do you want to beat Obama, or not?"

She guffaws at T-paw et.al..

Look, FReepers can make a great argument for an amazing, but obscure congressman like Mike Pence or Col. West (my favorites), but 1/3 of the voters will only pay attention in the last month or so.

You gotta look the part. Sad, but true.

Don't flame-if she or I could wave a magic wand we would be weeping tears of joy as Palin, West, or Pence were sworn in. Not gonna happen.

I fear she could be right.
