Political Tidbit

2 Things:

1. What will Romney do with his delegates? Pat Buchanan made a compelling argument on Fox News last night (don't worry, it was on when I got on the treadmill at the gym) that he will pull an Obama: Trade the delegates for the keynote convention speech and blow everyone away. Rep. think, "Hey, we nominated the wrong guy," McCain loses to a Dem, and four years later Romney walks into the election as the favorite son. The Obama story dates back to 04, but you get the picture.
   
2. In response to David, who asked why Romney wouldn't make a good veep, given the policies....I point you to the electoral map from Tuesday. McCain is from the West. He needs someone who can connect with the South, and Romney didn't do that. Second, even if you argue that the South is given for Rep., I point you to the fact that (a) Romney only won Michigan and Mass. because he lived there and (b) McCain needs to toss a stick to dyed in the wool republicans who -- like their pundits Coulter, Buchanan, and Limbaugh -- might sit this one out if McCain is the candidate.
