romney delighted to be hillary's vice-president

Nitt Nomey, who's disappeared from the public eye for almost as long as Eliot Spitzer, emerged today to say that he'd be honored to be HRC's running mate and serve as Vice-President. No word yet from the Clinton campaign as to whether or not this is something they'd be interested in pursuing.

OH, right, there is that whole thing about delegates that the Clinton campaign needs to overcome but they're working the backrooms pretty hard on that one. Then there's this other problem. According to Steven Waldman, founder of Beliefnet.com, who was on Fresh Air today discussing his book Founding Faith this afternoon, there are two religions that you can still use to smear a political candidate in this country. Mormonism, and if you want to really turn off voters, then call them a Muslim.

Considering that the Clinton campaign has tried to taint Obama as a follower of Islam, this would seem to pose a problem with the whole "why don't you be my running-mate" idea they also floated. An idea, which really stinks of bigotry if you think about it. "Boy's got some learn' to do 'fore he's ready for the White House."

Another, as yet, un-floated trial balloon, but we've got weeks before Pennsylvania primary, is that Bill could serve as her Vice-President. An unbeatable ticket!
