Besides that, he has no sense of the cadence of his speech at all. Needs to see that speech instructor in "The King's Speech."

You just described ole G Dumya Bush and he was ELECTED president...so that makes Scott a lock for VP..

No chance; he's riding a trough of unpopularity right now and looks like a one-termer. Lots of voter's remorse among his backers down here. There's talk about old Charlie Crist running as a Dem next go-around.

Gosh, I don't understand - a state full of Medicare and Social Security recipients electing the CEO responsible for the largest Medicare fraud in history? Who wants to remove all government assistance from citizens? What could go wrong?

I believe that about Crist! Good tip.

Whoever Romney chooses, we can be guaranteed of one thing, that this person will be a lot more intelligent than then the beyond stupid Joe Biden. Biden is the Ed McMahon of politics, nobody has ever risen so high in politics with so little talent and intelligence. The only thing scarier than an Obama presidency is a Biden one.

Always the fallback, call Bush an idiot. Sarah Palin is more intelligent than Joe Biden which does not say much for Biden.

i cringe every time i see 'sarah palin' and 'intelligent' in the same post. as for brains, i have to say my first thought for an unintelligent person who wasn't ready for the job, but became vp and then president was chester a arthur.
