Gleeful speculation, if Mittens commited a felony?

Well, to all appearances, it seems he did, either lying to the SEC or on his Federal Election documents.
I doubt anyone will bring charges against him, since they just don't go after Republicans.
But if Mitt is really damaged by this (he probably won't be since Republican candidates are allowed criminal pasts, see GW Bush),
what will the GOP do at the convention?
Nominate a felon, or run one of the wacko's in the wings?
Fun to think about, even though it won't happen.

If they're not felons when they're elected, a lot of them are by the time they're out of office. A lot of them just hide their crimes well, and are protected by the good old boy network. If we new the real truth about the level of corruption that goes on I'm sure it would rival Nigeria.
