And... Atlas Shrugged. I totally called this ticket a year ago.

, DU. Hope you're all well.

[MannyGoldstein]

1. That's amazing!

Why did you think that?

[PeaceNikki]

4. I'm in WI and saw him being primed.

Or I'm a witch.

[sendero]

15. I'm going...

... with the witch thingie.

[Suich]

2. Good call, PeaceNikki!

Hope you're well, also!

[Fozzledick]

3. Telemachus Sneezed!

[Kalidurga]

5. Oh wow

That was back when I thought the GOP wasn't going to be stupid enough to pick Romney. I so wanted them to pick him. But, I didn't think they would. I am learning. Never underestimate the stupidity of the GOP.

[PeaceNikki]

7. or the stupidity of the average American. it ain't over.

If there are lessons to be learned from us in WI, they include the one that ends with, "shit really can get all fucked up."

[klook]

18. Very true. I remember thinking, "This guy could NEVER get elected!"

Then Reagan got elected.

A couple decades, once again I thought, "This guy could NEVER get elected!"

Then W got (s)elected.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

8. I got Romney right, but dumped Ryan recently.

Actually, I waffled back and forth from him. As it turns out, the GOP doesn't really want the Independent vote.

Shows what I know!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

6. Indeed!

But, did you lay odds on the outcome?

Good to see you.

[PeaceNikki]

9. I did not and do not...

but I think we've got it.

Good to see you, too!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

10. I think we do, too.

But, I'm thinking of going to Colorado to volunteer just to feel better about it.

Never underestimate the power of the stupid voters is my motto.

[LuvNewcastle]

11. I thought for a long time that it would be Huckabee

in order to get a good turnout from the Southern bigots. As everyone knows, Mississippi is very Republican, but there is hardly any enthusiasm for Romney down here. Right now I'm seeing more Obama stickers than Romney stickers. That might change after the convention, though. Romney doesn't need a big turnout to win this state, of course, but he needs to motivate people in NC, VA, and OH. I thought Portman would be the obvious choice for Romney, but what do I know?

[UnrepentantLiberal]

12. Well done.

[cali]

13. that's pretty impressive, Nikki. I called it Romney but

had no idea it would be Ryan, and more recently- a couple of months ago, I tagged Portman for vp.

[rad51]

14. McCain part II.

Older flip-flopper picks younger far right nutjob to shore up disinterested base. I don't see undecideds flocking to Rmoney over this, Rubio is who I was worrying about.

I live in deep red KS and haven't seen 1 yard sign for ole Mitt, but I've seen two for Obama/Biden.


Your witch comment made me think of Monty Python, off topic but funny.

[PeaceNikki]

19. Yard sign: Ryan, like Palin but with more penis!!

[tomm2thumbs]

16. you win!! I was only half guessing that - missed the Rmoney part

29. the first steps in putting Ryan on the GOP ticket the fall begins, just wait
he's their little lap dog and they want him in the White House

[Fumesucker]

17. Well done, DU is so much smarter than the M$M and the Punditubbies it's almost scary.. n/t

[grantcart]

20. and you were right

[Motown_Johnny]

21. Then I Guess YOU WIN THE PUPPIES! Please PM Lynnsin

[upi402]

22. Awww I love puppies

I expect Ryan to hold one up in this pap-fest speach he's doing right now.

[PeaceNikki]

23. I'm ok on puppies, thanks!

But damn it, I felt this ticket in my bones.

[Motown_Johnny]

24. The person who entered the contest and won refuses to relinquish the puppies

what are your thoughts on a bucket of kittens?

[SidDithers]

25. Nice call!! You win the gold star...

Sid

[lonestarnot]

26. What do you know about Powerball?

[greatauntoftriplets]

27. Excellent prognosticating.

I had thought -- for the sake of a diverse ticket -- the VP nominee would be Marco Rubio. Silly me.

Instead, we get the boring white guy country club ticket.
