PNAC Veep's attractive to a certain kind of uh man.



Paraphrasing the AP cutline from memory:
"Dan Quayle, left, holds a pumpkin next to his head at a county fair..."

I was working at a newspaper at the time. We all laughed and laughed.

15. Bush-Rubio is a very unlikely ticket because of the Constitution

Florida's electors can't vote for Florida residents for both President and Vice President.

In 2000, when the GOP ran two Texans, they evaded the problem by having Cheney hastily and fraudulently move declare a move back to Wyoming. Cheney had at least represented Wyoming in Congress at one point in his life, so he had that much of a fig leaf. Neither Bush nor Rubio could set up a purported residence elsewhere with any credibility. It would probably survive a judicial challenge but would look really sleazy and cost them votes.

I do think Bush-Kasich is a plausible ticket. I'm still more worried Kasich in the top spot -- I think he's their strongest candidate.

thug who ran his opponent off the road, literally, and set up a hotel night clerk to try to screw with an election. I can't wait until that gets exposed.
