Originally Posted By Dabob2 Many politics watchers have noticed that Ron Paul seems to have a non-aggression pact with Romney.

It does seem kind of strange.
Originally Posted By Dabob2 Frankly, I wouldn't mind if Romney picked Rand Paul. The GOP nominee shouldn't need help winning KY anyway, and Paul's extreme stances will turn off moderates. I'd be more worried if Romney picked someone like Marco Rubio. I don't much like Rubio, but I understand he has a constituency. So does Paul, but he engenders more negatives.
Originally Posted By SingleParkPassholder Just to be fair and balanced here (yeccchhh), it's always possible Obama can say and do things that make more than a few voters shy away from him. I was a Palin away from voting for McCain last time. For example, yesterday he said the states should stop cutting educsation. Fine and dandy, but if he wants to appear out of touch too, keep saying things like that without a qualifier, because he should know a state's budget only covers a finite number of things, and education is a big chunk. it isn't as if any state WANTS to go there, but the money has to come from somewhere.

Originally Posted By mawnck >>So if Romney wins Michigan, is that pretty much the end of the Santorum story?<< At this point, I think we have to assume that anything can happen. Including a Gingrich resurgence, a Bachmann comeback, a brokered convention with Chuck Norris getting the nom, a hostile takeover of the GOP by the delegates' pets, calls for a war with Iran, calls for a war with Switzerland, calls for a war with Mars, calls for a war with Blefuscu ....
