Another Fine Jackpine Prediction-- [View all]

following the new Bain bombshell, the Birther BS, and just the growing distaste for this nasty man, I make the following prediction:

The Republicans will use Hurricane Isaac as an excuse to postpone the convention and, when they reconvene, they will have dumped Romney & will have to nominate someone else. The party will experience a level of chaos unseen since the McGovern/Eagleton debacle.

My crystal ball remains foggy when I ask it who that new Hail Mary nominee will be. On the other hand, my Runes are predicting Ryan because he's the freshest face they have, and he has the highest positive national exposure because people know so little about him.
