Aug 2012

Solves most of the GOP problems

Instant Latino credibility and vote gains

Instant Tea Party enthusiasm

Instant Mid West electoral gains

Instant Florida gain

Not much legislative record on either

Budget respectability will put focus on Obama and deficits

Instant Turnaround!

You read it here first. I hope it doesn't happen because
it would be a stronger ticket than Romney-Anybody

I don't think so ... bayareaboy Aug 2012 #37

I know gossip is rampant with the LDS members I worked with, but that was personal . . . siligut Aug 2012 #45

McCain may not have, but his wife may have--she never released her returns. MADem Aug 2012 #43

Exactly! That is the funny part. siligut Aug 2012 #46

An investor would not see Mitt's returns, would he? aquart Aug 2012 #58

Not in any normal situation siligut Aug 2012 #62

Normally, no. I shouldn't think so, anyway. MADem Aug 2012 #76

I think a McCain staffer may have spilled the beans Mopar151 Aug 2012 #84

McCain has a military mind, and he spent his final years on active duty MIRED in paperwork. MADem Aug 2012 #87

Point taken. Mopar151 Aug 2012 #89

I've always thought that Harry had a lot more going on in his head than that caught in the headlight madokie Aug 2012 #12

Harry Reid is a former amateur boxer. He is no wimp. He came up in the world rough. And POOR. MADem Aug 2012 #15

True that. And apparently he's quite skilled at the ol' rope-a-dope. mac56 Aug 2012 #17

Stewart is not always right. This was one time where he missed the mark by a mile. MADem Aug 2012 #88

There could be a good reason FOX is running this LiberalLovinLug Aug 2012 #54

But that would only affect Reid which isn't a big win since he's not running for anything. Kablooie Aug 2012 #59
