I have heard him speak often and, forgetting his politics, he is just plain AWFUL. He stumbles, stutters, pauses, and garbles his words so badly that he is difficult to understand. 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."

He's pretty toxic in popularity right now for the party, are they going to do a Bush/Cheney and keep him from appearing at the convention in Tampa? You hear anything?

Your description could describe why he's not speaking, but they could still give him an early, daytime slot that won't get much coverage, if he's that bad.

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.
