Thaddeus McCotter is perhaps the least believable name I can imagine. Are we sure he’s not a character in a Dan Brown novel?
It all depends. If they all see Obama as the prize, they’re conceding the race to Romney. They’re going to start (soon) sniping and taking shots at each other to differentiate themselves from each other. Bachmann and Romney won’t do it, at least not yet. McCotter does seem willing to nip at Romney, though.
Exactly.
They all have to eventually if they want the nomination.
But of course, they’re also competing for the VP slot, in which case they don’t want to argue too loudly with whoever gets the nomination. And they’re ultimately also all competing against Obama, which means they don’t want to argue too loudly with any of their party-mates.
Either way, there’ll either be a scuffle in the public, or an anointing behind the scenes.
I’d be willing to vote for Mr. McCotter, if he promises to share with us his knowledge of faster than light travel. On the other hand, if he’s going to spend all his time showing up in the inexplicably German expressionistic dreams of a random FBI agent, I’m don’t think that’s the sort of behavior we want to encourage in our elected officials.
Oh, hey, I found a video of him announcing his candidacy.
Dan Brown? Please - that’s a name out of Mark Twain.
McCotter is an intelligent man in a field of idiots. That would exclude him from the Republican nomination.
Sure, but wouldn’t it be great to see him stir things up a bit?
It would be fun to see the joke candidates the Repubs are offering go into a feeding frenzy to kill McCotter’s chances. I am sure Bachmann would offer a well thought out explanation of why she is better than he. I know Palin would make a deep and reasoned argument.
Romney would explain he is not Mormon enough.
