12. This is why I think Romney/Ryan is going to implode

He's all over the place. He's just making it up as he goes along. We all thought he would run to the middle as soon as he nailed down the nomination and instead he's been doing everything he could to suck up to his rightfully skeptical base. When a surrogate brought this up two weeks ago Ann Coulter was calling for an insurrection on Hannity's show. Now Mitt himself is bragging on his universal health care system, on Fox News for God sake, moments before the convention.

And that's on top of the GOP leadership saying 'screw the platform, we don't mean any of that, that's just more duping of the dumb ass base.'

If his base turns on him now... what will he have left? He'll be a laughing stock. Bounce points: The press, eager to convince the public that it could criticize the right, if they weren't just so damn above reproach, might, seeing the inevitable, begin to pile on in a feeding frenzy. I'm telling you, it could happen. These guys could go down in flames.

Double bounce points: Gun play at the convention!
