WOW! "Romney VP hopeful" TIM PAWLENTY will be on the Andrea Greenspan Softball Hour© today!

My favorite part about Andrea's show is how she GRILLS these Republicans, just holds their feet to the fire and REFUSES to let them lapse into TALKING POINTS.

Oh...wait a second...I'm thinking of ANOTHER SHOW. It will most likely be a kissyface segment.

TUNE IN IF YOU DARE!

Doctor's orders and all.

And Mrs. Greenspan gives fluffing a bad name.

NO Condi

NO Jebby

NO Jindal

NO Ryan

NO female

I'm thinking Portman.

8. John Heilemann just threw out an interesting thought on MSNBC

He's part of Alex Wagner's panel this morning and they were talking about how well-timed, precise, deliberate, premeditated Team Obama's assault on Romney has been, and how Romney has just BLOWN IT consistently. Heilemann said "If you're not on the offense and you're not on the defense, you're hosed."

I don;t think Romney is going to come up with ANY pick who is spotless, and when the inevitable skeletons come out of the closet, I believe he'll handle it the same way he's handled Bain and his tax returns...he'll just get pissy and try to dodge it.

come to a bad end because they think they know it all and they are control freaks.

Plus, if they are republicans they are bound to be not only not spotless, but scoundrels and crooks to boot.

Sorry...

Congress would seem to be a dangerous place to go this time around for a running mate. Maybe that explains Pawlenty.
