Romney's 'Panic Pick'





Sounds similar to what happened to McCain... it all SOUNDS so good when you are backed into a corner by the folks who would disrupt your convention, but when the slow drip, drip, drip of what your VP pick stands for finally begins to ooze out to the surface, it ain't pretty.

so much for learning the lessons of the past
