Get ready for Romney to Shake Up the Race [View all]

[cthulu2016]

In an effort to change the campaign dialog Mitt is about to get wild and crazy. Friends tell the New York Times that he has decided on his running mate, and it may be announced as early as this week.

Now, I will grant that if Mitt picked Joe the Plumber or Snookie from Jersey Shore or Flava Flav or even a true freak-show pick like Condaleeza Rice, that would push Baingate to the back burner quite effectively.

But since Romney's headline grabbing pre-convention stunt VP pick will be Tim Pawlenty it's hard to see how it could change the dialog for more than about four hours.
