BATON ROUGE, LA -– Mitt Romney’s campaign is tamping down speculation that a decision has been reached on a running mate, after a report today that the former Massachusetts Governor had made up his mind.
Eric Ferhnstrom, a top Romney aide, told reporters today “no decision has been made” on vice president. Ferhnstrom told the AP separately a decision could be reached this week.
The remarks occurred during a lunchtime fundraiser here in Baton Rouge, where Romney was joined by Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, a buzzed-about Republican whom some consider to be on Romney’s shortlist.
This morning, the New York Times reported that people close to Romney say a decision had been made. The report also speculated about how former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty may appeal to Romney.
But today’s fundraiser, at the City Club of Baton Rouge, marked Jindal’s debut at Romney’s side. In remarks to guests, Jindal called President Obama “incompetent,” and described Obama’s politics as too liberal for the American people.
“This president, President Obama, he cannot run on his record, he can’t run on his political philosophy so he has to attack and distort Governor Romney’s record,” Jindal said, referring to what he described as the Obama campaign’s negative tactics.
Last week, the Romney campaign fielded attacks from the Obama team over questions about when Romney left the helm of the venture capital firm Bain Capital, kickstarting new discussions about venture capitalism, and the financial economy.
“I am thrilled he’s a successful businessman. You don’t want an unsuccessful businessman in the White House,” Jindal said.
About 40 donors attended today’s luncheon, at $50,000 a plate. Guests ate Louisiana gulf shrimp and beef tenderloin.
One guest, Andie Bollinger of Thibodaux, LA, later told reporters that Governor Romney told guests privately about his plans for a Romney presidency, though she didn’t elaborate.
“He’s a brilliant man,” Bollinger said of Romney.
Jindal, who supported Texas Gov. Rick Perry during the Republican primary, has recently become a more visible surrogate for Romney’s campaign, deploying sharp attacks on President Obama and defending conservative issues.
This weekend, Jindal addressed the Nebraska GOP convention, where he touted Gov. Romney’s business background and was met with applause when he said the U.S. Supreme Court made an “awful choice” upholding President Obama’s health care law.
Today Romney and Jindal arrived for the fundraiser only minutes apart, and about half an hour early. Fehrnstrom said the two men met privately and spoke about education -- a focus for Jindal here in Louisiana -- but didn't discuss the vice presidency.

How did Obama's meeting with Jerry Springer go? LMAO
You can always count on Obama Kardashian for a good laugh.
Only incumbent to run away from his record rather than on it.
Repost from last article
Seeking@ - Ohhhhhhhh. How did RedSox get to post first? Now we'll follow with the conspiracy theories about how RS is a MSN paid troll. Isn't that the way it's supposed to go????
Redsux - How much does FR pay you to be their village idiot?
Any ideas where Obama's Budget Director got his training? C'mon.
Wait for it.
Wait for it.
Wait for it..........
That's right BAIN! LOL. So it seems that Obama admits that Bain guys really know what they are doing. LMAO
I guess we can add hypocrite in chief to the long list of title for Obama Kardashian.
LMAO
geez redsux, isn't your hero, Wiltard running away from his time as governor, his time as a
"vulture capitalist"?
RedSox -- Jeff Zients is on Obama's team. Obama's the one laughing.
Chris - There's no need for Romney to run from Bain... after all Obama tapped into Bain's vulture capitalist competition for a fund raising dinner a couple of weeks ago. I guess Obama doesn't really have anything against the vultures.... by the way Obama has all you liberals brainwashed, the next thing we'll be hearing from you is that vulture capitalists are good!
For those unfamiliar with Jeff Zients he's the WH Budget Director. He started out as a consultant with Bain.
Brianb- again with the brainwashed stupidity - from the #1 brainwashed idiot for Romney!
Obama/Biden 2012
BrianB- another post from Romney's #1 brainwashed idiot! The far right is sooooo totally dumbed down they don't understand anything any more!
Obama/Biden 2012
sorry about the double post - bubblegum - but it WAS well worth repeating!
The one thing I love about First Read is their ignore feature. I've noticed a few liberal morons trailing behind my remarks all day and since their remarks are not on my screen, I don't have to suffer through their banal insults any more. The funny thing is, they actually think their insults are intelligent. The level of their mentality is worth ignoring so I have to pat myself on the back for choosing to use the feature.
Liberals... not happy unless they insult other human beings or kill babies in the womb.
Brianb - what a totally moronic post - your usual though. No one cares if they're on the screen of a loser like you. And, the baby nonsense - just what we'd expect from a moronic Republican!
Obama/Biden 2012
Don't strain anything - I hear it's a BIG reach! ;o)
Romney thinks he's at a Mormon dance, and is dancing with all the girls so he will seem like a great guy and everyone will like him.
No True Patriot. Remember?
They want leaders with just enough working digits to operate a pen and they will funnel them the legislation to sign.
They don't care if the leader can poop, speak or think at all,....and they have an ideally-suited candidate in Mitt Romney. Romney is G.W. Bush without the brains, and Regan without the scruples.
Perrrrfect!!
Hussein spent 29 BILLION DOLLARS of taxpayer money outsourcing jobs!
Latest Obama quote: "Lets not look backwards and dwell on my past. Instead, let's look backwards and dwell on Romney's past"
Brian, how's that "management position" coming along? Or is Mama Gubment's teat too tasty?
Hypocrite...
Obama's going to vote for Romney.
"If you've got a business - you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen"
The words of Barack Hussein Obama, proving to everyone that he is a Marxist.
Vote him out before he totally collapses our economy and our American way of life.
"If you're explaining, you're losing" -- Willard Mitt Romney
BTW Rob, that line is from FAUX Noise, which was taken out of context. The president talked about things like roads that help businesses right before that statement -- roads that government built. Then he goes on to PRAISE entrepreneurship. Be an informed voter and play the full video and STFU.
Tell the Marxist to STFU. Roads and bridges wouldn't have been necessary if Henry Ford or some other individual hadn't invented the automobile.
Government isn't the solution, it's the problem -- Ronald Reagan (a real President).
BTW Rob, that line is from FAUX Noise, which was taken out of context
BTW Dennis, don't blame Fox News for a line that came out of the failed Marxist's mouth.
This is one of the few times the words coming out of his mouth truly matched his belief system.
Obama is an anti-capitalist piece of s&@t!
Wouldn't it be nice if MSNBC and the rest of the liberal media tried to be something even close to fair and balanced. Then they would cover President Obama's foreign fundraising.
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/07/15/Outsourced-Obama-Campaign-Raises-Money-in-China--Again
Maybe we would see a headline in MSNBC that read "Obama raises money with George Clooney in Switzerland amid VP speculation." Is MSNBC too blind to see that Romney has a local Republican host the fundraising event, like Republican Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal hosting a fundraiser in Lousiana. I guess that is way too obvious!
Post 1 is irrelevant. Go away.
Can't wait for any pick to debate dumbo Joe Biden. That is going to be very very funny to watch.
Poor Joe, he should just forfeit. LMAO
So many idiots to chose from and so little time...
Having said that, I don't think Governor Chucky Cheese has a chance!
Why is everything a BIG f@ckin secret with this clown?
You mean to tell me you have to drop at least $50K to get a peek?
And your the leader of the idiots Fisty! LOL
Feisty,
Ole RedSux is like a turd that want flush.
B-Job, you were so close to saying something witty. So close. Next time see if there is a fourth grader around to proofread for you. LMAO
Anyone remember Jindal's response to the Democrats that time? Made a complete fool of himself.
Good choice, Mitty!
Feisty,
I love the phrase" Jindal's debut at Romney's side".
Is this Jindal's cotillion or coming out party?
Anchor baby, Jindal, ......And Willard, who's your paternal Grandma?
Why is everything a BIG f@ckin secret with this clown?
You mean to tell me you have to drop at least $50K to get a peek?
Feisty - Because only someone who can slap down $50k for a peek would benefit from his plan...
Obama/Biden 2012
Well, whoever Mitt & his team want to pick, it's going to be a while before we know. It takes time to pour over potential vice president's tax returns for 12 years. Doesn't it? Assuming of course that the Mitt team requires 12 years worth of records.
Maybe not. Those things don't seem to matter to Mitt. It might cause problems.
And to think, Mitt thinks it's okay not to release his tax returns because Mrs. John Kerry didn't. I couldn't believe he actually said that.
Mitt is a spoiled immature idiot.
I don't have to!
Sounds like Jindal would be a perfect candidate to run with Romney. Between the two of them, they could spend the entire campaign at the offices of Politico, the Washington Post, and all other media outlets, refining their 'stories'.
http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/02/jindal_admits_katrina_story_was_false.php
I don't know if you saw my comment from earlier, Pat.
From Senator Dick Durbin who I am proud to call my own on MTP yesterday;
No Feisty I hadn't seen it. Good for Sen. Durbin.
Every single member of the Republican Party {and their supporters} are willing to accept Mitt's reasoning, of which there is none.
Can you imagine? These same supporters stomped and stomped their feet over a GD birth certificate and now that we want real transparency with this Mitt creep to see just how much money he made by sending jobs overseas, they make every excuse in the world for him.
I can't believe Romney brought up Sen. Kerry's wife. Just when you think he has sunk as low as he can, he brings up John Kerry.
_____
Did you see this?
Think Progress:
Though they campaigned on a platform of reducing the deficit and ridding wasteful spending, more than a half-dozen Tea Party congressmen have collectively spent over $100,000 in taxpayer money on personal vehicles.
##########
What mindless hypocrites. This is how you get a deficit reduction? haha
Come on VP candidates - get your tax papers in order! 12 years worth! Something Mitt doesn't feel obligated to do btw.
Pat - that's because Mitt's are constantly changing. He can't decide whether to claim he was at Bain or deny it. Bet he keeps a BOATLOAD of Accountants employed to handle his constant shifts!
Obama/Biden 2012
Poor Romney...."Bain, Bain, go away!! Come again another day!"
Pat,
I hadn't seen that - thanks for sharing!
Take away free lunches & food stamps for the needy while driving around on the taxpayer dime...
Nothing surprises me anymore with these greedy bastards!
There is NO depth to which they will not dive!
Gees, what happened to fiscal responsibility? Oh yeah, that only applies to other people.
btw, is Mitt doing any campaigning? I know he went on a sort of bus tour last month, then he was up in NH for the 4th of July week, and then was in NH all this past weekend while President Obama was campaigning.
We had photos of the president campaigning in the pouring rain over the weekend, while at the same time Mitt was taking a ride on his yacht.
What's with all these fundraisers and no campaigning? We're in the middle of the summer campaign season, aren't we?
Guess it's similar to his no shows at Bain. Takes the money and runs.
Seeking Sanity: LoL! Just like he couldn't decide if the health care legislation was a tax or a penalty.
The guy has no soul.
Speaking of soul-less, the Senate Repubs just blocked the 'disclose bill'!
We're not entitled to know who those bundlers and billionnaires are...they fear!....but
......states have have all those voter ID Bills......
The Repubs gotta know who we are, but we have no right to know who they are!
Classic!
Romney's Strategy Is His Only Strategy
BooMan:
Much like the necessity of defending Sarah Palin destroyed every minimum standard of truth and decency that remained in the Republican Party, Mitt Romney's utterly vacuous campaign is turning the nation's Republican governors into blathering idiots. I don't know what I'd say in their place, but that's sort of the point, What can you say? If you offer some advice like maybe Romney could release his tax returns and put this controversy to bed, you're forced to walk it back the next day. If you say that Romney should spell out his economic plans, you ignore that his economic plans poll so badly that the Democrats have decided that no one will believe them if they talk about them. If you suggest that Romney humanize himself by talking more about his personal life, you ignore that Romney is basically a straight-laced Clark Griswold who does weird things like strap a dog crate to the roof of his station wagon before he sets off on a lengthy vacation. If you tell him to defend his work at Bain Capital, you aren't taking account of the fact that he's had twenty years to try to do that as a candidate and has never succeeded. And you know in your heart that releasing his tax returns won't make the issue go away, but will destroy his candidacy in its crib.
One after another, the Republican governors assembled for their annual meeting in Virginia, told reporters that Romney needs to do this or that differently. But all of their advice was bad. Romney doesn't talk about his personal life because he isn't likable. He doesn't talk about Bain Capital because no one likes a vulture capitalist and it only invites his opposition to pile on. He doesn't talk about his economic plans because they're less popular than a case of herpes.
Romney's current strategy is the only strategy that makes any sense. Don't discuss anything except the president and the economy. Go 100% negative. Do everything you can to make the election about the incumbent and not about you. Never talk about yourself. Never talk about your plans, except in the most generalized platitudes. And hope a perfect storm hits at just the right time in November and you win because you're the only plausible alternative on the ballot.
Even if it's not working well enough to win, doing anything else will immediately backfire. So, stick to the strategy.
This is what happens when a party becomes insane and then nominates someone with an indefensible history, personality, and platform.
##########
The Republican Party is ripping the soul out of our country. As are their supporters and money men.
As Chris Matthews just said, the Republican Party is trying to take away your vote, yet at the same time refuse to disclose who the people are that are bankrolling Mitt's election purchase.
We have no business thumping our chests and exclaiming that we're the best country in the world if we are going to stand by and do nothing while Mitt, the prep school boy punk, bullies his way into the presidency.
The same prep school spoiled punk who assaulted a classmate.
Romney says the Harlem Globetrotters have trouble making touchdowns. (Tape 62)
From McCain's team in 2008 vetting of Romney as VP.
Don't look now Feisty, but I think our idiot outer just misspelled a contraction that most 4th graders wouldn't.
As a conservative wrote a while ago, on behalf of conservative leaders everywhere:
Romney is a Manufactured Candidate.
Romney manufactured?
Romney's a self made man who will crush the puppet the drones worship come November.
So Obama called up ICE and got them to not deport his illegal drunk driving brother.
I'm sure First Read will be posting that story anytime now, right?
This guy is more corrupt than Nixon.
Romney is a self made man?
And you believe that nonsense?
Romney is success personified. Romney born into wealth gave way his entire inheritance and started over living with Ann in a $70 a week apartment just after marrying. He built the most admired capital investment firm in the country. He made money lots of it for himself, his family, his business partners and their families, his employees and their families.
He was a very successful governor of Massachusetts for 4 years in which he took the unemployment rate from 5.3% to 4.7%. He took a significant deficit and turned it into a surplus (unfortunately Deval Patrick, democrat pissed through the Romney's surplus and another 4 billion we didn't have all in just two years).
Then, of course, Romney saved the Olympics.
Everything Mitt touches turns to gold.
The choice is success (Romney) or failure (Obama).
The America haters on this vine will always back the failed Marxist. But if you just came by to check things out and actually like America the choice is clear.
Romney/Rubio 2012
Let's get that into perspective. When Romney's dad passed away, Romney was already wealthy. So that meager inheritance he 'gave' away does nothing to reflect upon the silver spoon that fed Romney through his teens, 20s/30s.
I saw that move - Love Story - rich boy meets poor girl, they live off Dad's meager stock dividends in the 60s while they both attend the priciest University, they are stuck with the car Dad gave him in high school, stuck with accepting the down payment on the house from Dad .. oh, except they didn't end their story with "Love means never having to say you're sorry". Yeah .. seen that movie, cried a dozen tears, those crazy young 60s rebel rouser wannabes.
Then why is his daily mantra, "Bain, Bain, go away! Come back another day!"?
Yeah - after siphoning another billion off the government to ensure he could not possibly fail.
Yup, when born with a silver spoon in your mouth, you have to try hard to fail at anything. But hey, to Romney, equal opportunity means dressing up like a cop and pulling people over for 'fun'. There is no other high than the high you get from victimizing and bullying the 'little' people. Why, it is like being a Vulture Capitalist.
So if you like a land of equal opportunity, vote Obama. If you prefer opportunities for the privileged elite, vote Mitts.
@Pat - that used to mean something entirely different than the GOP/TP spin today. Today, a self made man is someone using Daddy-O's connections, influence, wealth to land a mega-million dollar job, sucking off everyone else's hard work. In previous generations, it meant someone moving from rags to riches. Romney is no rags to riches story, he is wealthy to super-wealthy by blood sucking retirement funds and healthy company profits - aka Capitalistic Greed. Bill Gates and Steve Jobs are examples of rags to riches - building sustainable industries on new technologies and ideas.
Romney and his cronies are the leeches of society - turning everyone's hard work into their capital gains. They used to be called snake oil salesmen, lynched from town to town. Now they are the adoration of the GOP/TP.
Romney is about as "self-made" as George W. Bush. Romney is a child of inherited entitlement. That's it. He is who he is because he got a jump start because it was handed to him, and used his advantaged, privileged position to yield wealth increase.
Does anybody seriously believe Romney would be where he is if he were African-American, immersed in an urban ghetto, and dealt the hand of a DISADVANTAGED youth?
Romney attended the best schools, paid for by his dad's lucre. He was attended by domestics all his life, had servants, and went to cotillions, not parties. He rode in Mercedes Benz limos and dined on cracked crab and caviar. He bathed in champagne. The Romney family is well known here in Michigan!! We know these people here.
These people live to run for office so they can get on the gubmint dole and increase their investment yields. The Romneys are professional parasites.
Romney is nothing like a REAL self-made, biracial kid born in Hawaii, lived in Chicago, attended Harvard, graduated with Honors, and rose up despite prejudice and no parents to nurture him. No limos, no servants either. No caviar.
Barack Obama lifted himself up by his OWN bootstraps, and overcame obstacles to become POTUS. He deserves and worked for his station in life. He has had to struggle all his life just as his Presidency has been a struggle against the demagogues and corporate proxies (Boehner) sent against him.
He is the right man for the job.
OBAMA/BIDEN 2012
P.S.- I begin canvassing for our President's reelection on Saturday morning here. The battle is joined !! The barbarian republikans are at the gates.

You have a real tough job ahead of you Pat -- not.
Massachusetts is hopeless. As are the 9 other states that will vote for the failed Marxist.
Unfortunately, for Hussein 40 other states will be voting for Romney in the coming November landslide!
Hey, First Read. How about telling your bosses no one really cares much whether the MS is there or not. How long are we going to get hit with these annoying, screen blocking things that just beg for an opportunity to explain the change. Maybe you should stop pretending you're a story anyone other than a few junkies cares about? You guys report the news; you aren't the news.
Republicans, you haven't had your convention. Still time to change your minds. This guy ain't gonna cut it for you. He's probably the one Republican who can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory this time.
@Paul M in Wbridge,
I predict a brokered convention. Never mind the headache Republicans have with President Obama; they've got a bigger one with their own presumptive candidate.
I predict a brokered convention.
Bali -
Who's left that could cause a brokered convention?
@GT,
Dunno. The Ron Paul peeps are quietly working to make that happen, but what the end result might be is anyone's guess.
Republicans are facing the same dilemma that they did during the Primaries: they really don't have a standout candidate.
Sounds to me like the liberals are running somewhat scared of Romney... they want him to drop out. Funny, you don't hear that coming from the conservatives. As far as Obama goes, that's all he needs to do. GO!
Bali Bob - they really don't have a standout candidate." Talk about understatements! They don't have a candidate anyone wants to be associated with - forget about Standout! But, they also don't have anyone in the wings. The GOP is bereft of leadership and it definitely shows!
Obama/Biden 2012

At least they had a flavor of the month to pick from. Now, they're clean out of flavors...

Sounds to me like the liberals are running somewhat scared of Romney...
Brian - You got to be kidding? Right?
Not in the least GT. I'm not kidding at all. I know you liberals think obama is a shoe in to win, but all you have to do is observe the other 2/3's of the voting public. Obama has been stepping in it very deeply over the past few weeks. Of course in your total admiration of him, you don't see it. To the liberal mind, Obama can do no wrong... but that's not the way many others see it.
You seem to be under the illusion that Romney matters... the only thing he matters for is to replace Obama. Obama will need a replacement when he's voted out of office.. Nothing like having no record to run on...
Of course in your total admiration of him, you don't see it. To the liberal mind, Obama can do no wrong
Brian -
If the GOP had the same feelings for their candidate, they'd have something going for them. But this ABO thing is not going to work. Just throwing an empty suit out there and hoping to replace O is not going to get you a victory in November. Granted that the GOP didn't have much to pick from, but Mitten's sure isn't going to do the trick for you, by a long shot...
Obama/Biden 2012
Tis what you get when folks ruled by the almond sized hypothalamus start barking. Reason is left behind.
Has anyone seen Jindal's long form birth certificate? Or Romney's? Or Romney's tax returns?
All these missing items must be with Obama's missing "5% unemployment rate" and missing "half the deficit cut"....
Nope.... but they haven't had things written about them like from the literary agent from Harvard Law School....
Barack Obama, the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review, was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii. The son of an American anthropologist and a Kenyan finance minister, he attended Columbia University and worked as a financial journalist and editor for Business International Corporation.
This was posted by a liberal... and of course I had to save it because I never knew a liberal would quote the literary agent from Harvard Law School
I find it interesting that the republicans left our country dying by the roadside. The rich got bailed out and the unemployment is now President Obama's fault.
I get it President Obama could not fix the republicans mess with their obstruction fast enought so lets give the keys back to the republicans to finish the great job bush started.
Nope.... but they haven't had things written about them like from the literary agent from Harvard Law School...
Brian - I wouldn't read into it too much because its Probably a mis-print. Besides, making statements like that only makes you look like a Birther, and we all know you're not a Birther, right Brian?
Obama/Biden 2012
blah, blah, blah.......no genius, it's FDR's fault, or Truman's. Wait, let's go back even further, it's Jackson's fault.
He's a birther alright .. still studying like hell to pass the "Rabbit Exam".
Come on Willard, please pick the exorcist. Maybe Jindal can perform an exorcism on all those mean things Obama is saying about Bain. Maybe Jindal will build a giant sand pile for everyone. Please Willard please, you can even have Jimi Hendrix's Castles Made of Sand be your campaign theme song. How much cooler can you get than Hendrix? That will liven up your dreadfully boring campaign so will you do it Willard?
I don't think Jindal could make it past a vetting by Tony Perkins and his Family Research Council.
While they were dining on that fine Louisiana shrimp, all were grateful the oil spill clean up wasn't dependent on Jindal's $200 million sand bar solution - else they'd be saying, "Yum, shrimp with a side of crude!"
Ignorant remark if I ever heard one. Damn the facts.
Well.......you do lean left. So that would be typical.
FYI....Jindal proposed that as a way to help protect the marshes, not as a cure all. It was actually used with success in some areas. It was more than Obama did. But don't let facts distract you from worship of all things Obama.
So Jindal squeezed $200,000 out of BP to build his sand bars that ultimately were found beneficial to beach erosion but not at keeping the oil out. Obama squeezed $20,000,000,000 out of BP to help local businesses to recover. Guess math's not your strong suit.
That explains the $50k per plate .. importing shrimp from unpolluted water.
Imagine Willard not being nominated at the R convention. People are already selecting a Veep for a candidate that hasn't even officially been nominated yet. Whether it is Pyush Jindal, Ayote, or another clown.
Governor Bobby Jindal is a brilliant man, a great success as Louisiana Governor, and an innovator in education and health care reform.
The leader of the moonbat brigade, Feisty Redhead, sees fit to call him "Chucky Cheese" .
Is that related to his skin color and Indian features, Feisty? Do you think all Indian Americans look like rodents?
Probe-Boy!
It has absolutely NOTHING to do with the color of Pyush's skin!
It has everything to do with his beady eyes, sharp teeth & @!$%# eating grin...
I wasn't aware those physical attributes were soley Indian!
Bet if you looked in the mirror you would see them for yourself! I would also bet a rat has more hair than you do...
Are we clear now?
gov jindal has ties to India who knows what secrets he has. He could be undercover. You know India has nuclear bombs. For all we know he could be a plant from the Indian Intelligence. He could be a spy. Remember that is the middle east. You all know how well liked we are there!!!
Bob in VA - not sure about the brilliant part. He can't speak and sounds suspiciously like he's related to Sarah Palin. If he's smart - he hides it well. I swear I thought he would read off his palm last time he was on a show!

With gov jingle Someone needs to check his birth records, school records all the way to preschool. We can't be to safe. I'm sure all his records are false.
Also with gov jingle his religion should looked at also. How can someone from India be catholic. That needs to be looked as well as his priests, you all know about those catholic priests.............. Just what do we know about bobby jingle?
Bob ... this comment
Seriously came into your head over a Chucky Cheese comment? You are one SICK thinker! I hope like crap you never venture out West. The American Indians take their land and their pride to heart and really don't like people who think like you . . . .
Newsweek, the Obama poodle , is headlining Sarah Palin and whether she will get a speaking role at the GOP Convention.
The article has the usual liberal spin...pretending to care about supposed ignored conservative activists while snarking and insulting Palin at every turn. What do you expect from a magazine that headlines Andrew Sullivan, a deranged "Trig truther" who claims Sarah Palin did not give birth to her own son?
Expect snarky First Read headlines soon, giving the liberal journalists another crack at Palin while pretending to practice journalism...
No Bob - you're the poodle - and it's Mitt's poodle. Careful - he'll strap you to the top of the car!

I don't think it is much of a recommendation for Romney that McCain after seeing 23 years of Romney's tax returns, he chose Palin.
If that isn't true then Romney needs to show his tax returns.
You republicans know it is true, if it was President Obama not releasing his tax returns, republicans everywhere would be hyper-ventilating and faux would be freaking out.
Vaginal Probe Bob would be calling Obama a crook and a liar because any honest person would release their tax returns like all the rest of the people running for president have.
So where are your taxes Romney?
Republicans where are the jobs, jobs, jobs you promised if you were elected in 2010?
If republicans actually believed that tax cuts created jobs, then they wouldn't be cheering bad jobs reports because the jobs reports proves beyond a doubt that tax cuts don't create job. After 13 years of tax cuts, if they were going to create jobs, wouldn't they be here by now.
Think about every con you have heard about, does the just give us more money and we promise this time we will get results ring any con bells. Because that is what the republicans are telling you.
Remember that little bit of money the democrats wanted to tax the richest on their second million and the republicans were telling us that would cause irreparable harm to the job creators.
Yet these same job creators have hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars to buy the election, republicans are bragging of records hauls, but no money for jobs.
You tell me, the I am being conned bells aren't ringing yet?
Why do you want to see Romney's tax return? So you will feel even more inadequate? He gives more to charity in a year than you make in a lifetime. Pays more in taxes too. Time for Obama to end this sideshow and start defending his failed record and explain why he is such a pathological liar. It's embarassing for America to have the world laugh at us because our President can't go a day without lying.
squeakywill - Very well said, besides most of the left wing nuts that keep calling for Romney's tax returns couldn't understand them anyway. Just more DEFLECTION from Obama's failed policies. I continuous ask the liberals what law requires any Presidential candidate to release his tax returns? Have had a decent answer yet. We use you have a saying "just because he did it doesn't mean we all have to." I suppose if Obama pissed in a bottle to check for drugs every candidate in the future would be expected to do so. Get a life liberals, tax returns have nothing to do with being President.
Jindal...LOL!!! All Dems have to do is show Jindal's absolutely moronic rebuttal to President Obama's speech in 2009...that is all it will take.
I realize the potential VP picks are not going to help Romney....his campaign is a lost cause....but Jindal.....that is just a step above Palin!
One guest, Andie Bollinger of Thibodaux, LA, later told reporters that Governor Romney told guests privately about his plans for a Romney presidency, though she didn’t elaborate.
Maybe Willard should start telling everyone what a Romney presidency would bring. Obama is not wasting any time telling people. Willard is getting circles ran around him. You would think with all that money he would have a better team.
Melo-D, you have to pay for that kind of information! The rest of the 99% puh ... let them eat cake until Mitt can rule and let the little people know what he has in store ....
(and unfortunately his "team" consists of the old GWB team ... nothing new there!)
115 days until Obama gets FIRED!
Yippeeeeeee!
Dream on Rob - But this empty suit you nominated surely isn't going to get Obama fired. You better get used to "O" for 4 more years. Whether you like it or not.....
Obama/Biden 2012
Not only is Hussein gonna lose. He is going to lose BIG! I mean real BIG!
There's less than 10% of the population that are Marxists. Then you have the other 10% that are just too stupid not to realize Obama is a Marxist.
Everybody else will be in the Romney column. Voting for American not against America.
Hey Raab...you forgot to mention how Obama is a "trader"...
LOL...boy, you really are an @!$%#, arent you...
Now off to the "drugstore" with your "girlfriend"...
Rob
I bet you feel like a fish out of water in Massachusetts. But....right on brother. First Read is where the sycophants come to tell each other how relevant they are, too bad they don't get out more.
(Bobby Jindal VP selection as seen through the eyes of a Tea Party Republican Birther - some terms translated into contemporary English for the benefit of readers that do not speak conservative-ese)
I dunno 'bout this Jindle guy. Looks like a communist to me. Anybody seen his birth certificate? (English translation: he doesn't have white skin) Wut? He's from Indyuh? Ain't there lotsa Arabs (English translation: Muslims) in Indyuh? Why'd we even go to all that trouble liberating this country (English translation: stealing at gunpoint) from them godless Injuns if we're just gonna go give it back?
If you had two brain cells to rub together, or knew more than one letter words, you would notice that it is more brain dead drones from the left who are making such asinined statements such as:
You mean the birthers aren't questioning Jindal's citizenship, religion, or patriotism just because of the color of his skin and nationality of his parents? But that doesn't make any sense. It would be completely inconsistent with how they treat Barack Obama. It would mean that they are just a bunch of purely partisan, opportunistic, hypocrites acting in their own cynical political interests with no regard to the truth. How dare you question the motivations and sincerity of the Tea Party, sir? How do you know that they don't automatically assume that any dark skinned person is a secret Muslim communist dedicated to infiltrating and destroying America? You dare to call them brazen, dishonorable liars instead?
Alright. I mean, if you insist. I'm in. The tea party and birthers are just a bunch of hypocrites and liars. You win that argument, friend.
Romney's choice of running mate has got to be a really tough decision. Frequently presidential candidates will pick a doofus like Biden as their running mate to so they can look good by comparison. Other times they will pick a VP just to bring in a particular segment of the electorate, as with Walter Mondale's choice of Geraldine Ferraro. Romney recognizes that the success of any enterprise is dependent on having a top-notch management team, and so he will want someone who is smart and tough.
How he balances those three factors will be interesting, to say the least.
I see where the Red Communist slunt of MSNBC is working overtime tonight. The old unemployed witch that is the matriarch of all the communist Hussein droolers that post here. You moochers are pathetic.
you repugs are idiots. how can you fix this country when the repugs refuse to lift a finger? day one was to stop the u.s recovery. in order to fix it you need congress. if the dems pull this stunt,you repugs would go insane.the pres. doesnt hold the check book. stop watching fox.
joe thomas. i hope youre part of the one percent. if youre not and your guy wins check back and tell us how your life is under robme. your a first class idiot. again stop watching fox. your brains are mush. stop voting against yourself. idiot.
Jindal...LOL!!! All Dems have to do is show Jindal's absolutely moronic rebuttal to President Obama's speech in 2009...that is all it will take.
I realize the potential VP picks are not going to help Romney....his campaign is a lost cause....but Jindal.....that is just a step above Palin!
Yeah Dragon, "absolutely moronic"
Obama is a socialist Marxist!
Not my opinion, just listen to him speak and vilify businesses.
NBCNEWS is really very stupid and arrogant. They think if they don’t report on something we won’t know about it. Amazing stupidity. Remove the word NEWS from their title. It’s not NEWS. It’s a political strategy and not a very smart one.
The top story in the news can’t be found on this site. If it can its hidden real well because I can’t find it and it should be the top headline. Obama himself. Not one of his surrogates or his campaign has shown without any doubt he is a lying Socialist/Communist and without corrupt illegal votes he cannot win this election. Democrats have to lie. If they tell the truth they can’t get elected. Well this time he didn’t lie but he sure was stupid. Too stupid to be our President.
He said. "If you've got a business, you didn't build that", somebody else made that happen." It’s called freedom fool.
He said. "There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me because they want to give something back,” And many do but not at the point of a gun to take their money and give it to a Socialist/communist President wants to give it to. It’s call freedom fool.
He said. "If you've been successful, you didn't get there on your own.” No Obama’s Socialist/Communist Gov’t did it for you. It’s called freedom fool.
He said. "The Internet didn't get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet." The Defense Dept. (you know the one he is trying to dismantle) started the research and then private Entrepreneurs made it into something usable by everyone to better the world. Obama didn’t do it and neither did Al Gore. It’s called freedom fool. NBCNEWS doesn’t report this stuff because they know it shows insight into what this radical thinks. Filtered news is one of the reasons Microsoft pulled their name and why the people that use this source as their only source are foolish. Obama is dangerous to our free society and if you can’t understand I feel sorry for your lack of intelligence.
I have seen truth like that on this vine in a long time -- you nailed it.
The Marxist got caught thinking out loud for a change. He single handedly is crippling our economy.
I once thought it was out of incompetence but now realize it is purposeful.
Vote Obama out in November!
Agreed Rob. By the way. I'm not a Republican. I'm an Independent that believes in our free country.
