The Institute of VP leaks, tips, and speculation (GOP edition)

[??????????]

Freak the Libs out and nominate George W. Bush.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Freak the Libs out and nominate George W. Bush.

If they do that, Obama should replace Biden with Bill.

[Torie]

So it would appear, except  for someone commenting about what Cameron said, about Mccain having made up his mind, and that he implied it was Pawlenty. Meanwhile, Pawlenty's intrade numbers are moving up rapidly by the second.

Freak the Libs out Make the "libs" ridiculously happy and nominate George W. Bush.

While Romney's have tanked.  Thankfully, immediately after I doubled down when Romney hit 67.5.

[Mr. Morden]

OK, it looks like Pawlenty did cancel numerous appearances, but still says that he's "scheduled to appear" at the state fair tomorrow (though maybe that was before he started cancelling things?):

FWIW, the Secret Service just did a security sweep of Romney's sister's home. Might not mean anything, especially since it's running counter to the prevailing rumor winds.

Also, did I somehow miss this from Ambinder's "Live from Invesco Field" post?:

"Fox's Cameron reportedly has VP pick"

Does anybody have a TV with Fox News Channel on it where they're at?  Are they talking about this?

[Small Business Owner of Any Repute]

Romney's inched back up to 66 on Intrade.

[Mr. Morden]

Let's hope that he's being honest. That's tough to do when considering the person...

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Good news if Romney is being honest, which is rare in his case.

[J. J.]

Tim, Tom or Kay?  I still think the Mitt is in it.

[Torie]

Well the earlier buzz was that Romney and Ridge were to both be at the Dayton event, although that did not mean necessarily that one of them had been, or would be, picked.

[Mr. Morden]

No, not at Dayton.  They're scheduled to appear with McCain on Saturday in PA.

S-A-R-A-H

Now I know for sure that you just don't have a roll of quarters in your pocket...

"TOP CONTENDERS TO GATHER IN DAYTON, NOON FRIDAY... WILL SHARE SAME STAGE..."

If that's actually true, then the name might *not* leak tonight.  Though we could find out who qualifies as a "top contender" tonight.

[Sam Spade]

keep 'em guessing... 

Obama did the same thing, quite nicely, for a long while.  But he went on with it too long and then they screwed it up, imho.

I smell a set-up...I starting to think that NONE of those mentioned to be gathering in Dayton is the VP pick!

You're right. While they're there, a portal to Alaska will open, and Sarah Palin will step through flanked by angels of the Lord to accept her rightful place by John McCain's side.
