The Tampa Bay Times reported that seven Republicans -- Florida Gov. Rick Scott, Sen. John McCain, Condoleezza Rice, South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, Mike Huckabee, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez -- will speak at the Republican convention.

I guess they had to have Rick Scott since his state is hosting the convention otherwise that benefit is there from having a guy with a 32% approval rating in his state speaking?

1. So they didn't ask Caribou Barbie

to serve the convention attendees one of her legendary word salads?

10. I hoped they'd have both Palin and Bachmann: BATSHIT SALAD!

2. A rogue's gallery of Regressivist pigshit . . .

. . . which insults pigshit, since manure has a practical use.

Kat$hit, what an engaging individual. We'll see if he's backing off on selling our turnpike, as he's been defanged somewhat with the SB5 defeat.

3. What?!! This guy's not available...?

[woodsprite]

8. No, but his daughter is.

I hear she's not doing much these days - just collecting money for her PAC that she can pilfer.

4. So that means the VP slot is down to T-Paw and the Bush economic

dude. Oh, and that lying-about-my-heritage Florida newbie.

Reading between the lines.

5. Maybe. It could be one of the scheduled speakers, too

just to throw people off and make it more of a surprise. I also think Paul Ryan might have a shot at it.

13. You mean Santorum is on the short list for VP??

[Johonny]

6. No Christie?

Of them, only Huckabee is known to speak well. Not sure about Susana Martinez.

7. Huckabee: "Romney looks like the guy who just laid you off."

I can't find the exact quote - something like that.
Dems should have an ad for each one of these speakers featuring their dis of Romney

[Evergreen Emerald]

9. The VP could be on the list of speakers, yes?

I think it is going to be either Susana Maritnez or Kelly Ayotte.

Or Ohio is important = Portman.

11. Three are tokens.

12. I understand Hannibal Lector cancelled out...

[Blackhatjack]

14. OK, Time for the Tea Partiers to Speak UP....

No Palin? No Trump?

Hmmm ... sounds like the Romney Campaign is ignoring their "Leaders."

Maybe this calls for a nomination from the floor by the Tea Partiers.
