Well, the Democratic National Convention is this week. I tried to watch the nomination process (i.e. the delegates giving their votes), but it was very pompous and dull; each state had to spend about a minute on why they were the best and why they mattered to Senator Obama. It really annoyed me. But, I imagine the Republicans will be the same way. There's cooks and nuts on both sides of the isle.
I'm writing this post to mainly make a prediction of who I believe will be the GOP VP pick. I would love for it to be Romney, and I sincerely believe he would bring the most to the ticket with regards to states to put in play and also being the most capable to be an executive. However, I don't think it will be him; it will probably be Tim Pawlenty. Why? Because Romney gets too many people excited, for better OR worse. The Minn. Governor isn't that provocative and therefore is very safe. And the GOP base seems to like him a lot and no one has a bone to pick with him. I can see some good in this, but I obviously see a downside to it. If you could feel the level of my enthusiasm for both possibilities, you would notice the downside to Gov. Pawlenty: he doesn't get a lot of people excited! Whereas if Romney was the pick, I would do everything in my power to get him elected. I'm energized with Romney. Pawlenty? Not so much. That's the reason. The other reason I don't think it will be Romney is because it would be too good to be true for a Mormon to be in that position. Well, that's that. Cheers.
