Todd Akin on the GOP ticket?

[IceSpear]

Todd Akin has re-emerged from exile recently, giving interviews to promote his new book. The fact that he makes it a point to continually attack Bill and Hillary leads me to believe he's contemplating a run for president in 2016. He'd certainly have the best "anti-establishment" bona fides in the party, and would surely lock up Missouri.

If not the top of the ticket, he could potentially be the VP for Huckabee. Huckabee not only vehemently defended Akin in 2012, he also recorded a TV ad for him and wrote the foreward for Akin's new book.

[Suburbia]

Excellent question, Ice Spear. I do see Huckabee picking Akin as a VP. If Huckabee is nominated, he would want someone just like him as a running mate and while it would be too theocratic, establishment Republicans may stay home.

This is dumber than the Romney/Pawlenty "discuss with maps" thread that just popped up.

It's not dumb, it's speculation. Anything could happen in 2016. It shouldn't be closed-minded. It should be a free and open discussion.

I know, people are so closed minded. They need to understand that a soothing Midwesterner like Pawlenty or Akin is a MUST for the GOP ticket if they want to be taken seriously this coming election.

No. They're not a must. It's just speculation. The choice of a running mate is a choice that is personal for a presidential candidate. Not all presidential candidates care about demographics and how the VP choice would be viewed by the public and media. Not all presidential candidates care about winning a state or a region. It's about loyalty and compatibility. Romney and Huckabee like candidates that they're comfortable governing and campaigning with. Loyalty is important in picking running mates, next to helping in a state or region.

Bachmann/Akin Overdrive 2016. I called it.

I'd stay home and wouldn't think twice.

Okay. Mine were:
1. Actually funny
2. More substantive than "could obscure person do x in 2016?"

Haha. No. And mine aren't even knock offs of that, I had never seen that thread. I was mocking the Carly Fiorina thread.

As far as knock offs go, Snowstalker's was a million times better than yours and he probably has the most trollfails of any poster on this site. Just take the Ls and we can move on.

So ordered,

Your smug pretentiousness about your low quality threads is amusing. Donald Trump? That joke has been made dozens of times already on this board. Face it, you were both beaten to the punch AND outclassed in quality.

[Napoleon]

Obviously it went over your head then.

[Fuzzy Bear]

Perhaps an Akin-Mourdock ticket?

Huckabee has more sense then to pick a guy who can't carry a red state in a Senate race for his VP (if Huckabee runs, that is).  And as nutty as the GOP base is, they won't pick a loser like Akin.  (They won't let him get near the cameras at the GOP convention should he actually desire a speaking opportunity.)

What about Chris McDaniel and Joe Miller? They may be too liberal for the Republican base, but I think they should have a good shot in the primaries and the general election if they teamed up.

Wonderful idea! They'd prevent any Democratic president from taking office by filing frivolous lawsuits after their loss.

Only if Christine O'Donnell is invited as well.

Oh dear, how will the GOP ever win without the swing voters of Maine?

[Maxwell]

Akin would wake up all those conservative voters that haven't been voting for Mitt Romney and John McCain because they weren't anti-abortion enough. Akin/Schlafly will surely win by double digits.

[pbrower2a]

He lost what looked at one time like an easy seat to pick up in a general election in which the incumbent President lost by 10%.

The joke is too obvious.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Is your Hillary fanboyism getting in the way of reason?

[CountryClassSF]

I'd rather have him on the Supreme Court to end the barbaric practice of abortion. He is one of few left in the GOP who cares about life.

How about secretary of HHS since he's a medical expert?

[ElectionsGuy]

Dude couldn't crack 40% in a state Romney easily won by 9 points. Oh, and his comments that women have a way of shutting down pregnancy if raped. I don't think more needs to be said.
