Draft Rafalca.

The whole horse, or just the back half?

I would draft Seamus and make Romney as his VP.

The slogan?

This time Mitt rides on the roof!

Mysterious forces? I’m going with Andrew Jackson, Ulysses Grant and Ben Franklin.

I’m going with Mormons. They love Mr. Mittens. He is their Great White Hope!

I first read that as ‘Raft Mitt’ … which is apropos…he’s just adrift on the ocean of politics. Without a paddle. Hopefully he’s low on water and other supplies. But I am sure his hair will be PERFECT…

Who’s behind the draft Mitt movement? The same person who’s in front of it… Mitt!

One of the great, desperate, political phonies of our time.

This time, Mitt will release all his tax returns. Right?

smokinthegotp · July 3, 2014, 11:11am

Right?

Who’s behind it? Princess Ann, of course! It doesn’t matter what the “official” slogan of the campaign is; her slogan is, “He promised me I’d be Queen!”

More like their Great White Dope.

A “[giant] in a field of midgets?” More like a (slightly) bigger midget.

Part of the publicity Mitt is receiving is due to the media inviting him to appear on their talk shows. Without the media bending over for Mitt, he would not be front page news at all. He just does not show up at the Sunday talk shows, hat in hand.

Hillary.

lonewolf_93 · July 3, 2014, 12:03pm

I’d bet 47% of my paycheck that its someone in the Romney family who is behind this push

lio · July 3, 2014, 12:05pm

But it’s not nothing.

It’s pretty damn close to nothing. Too bad there isn’t an election this year that could give you folks something to cover.

All these people who want to draft Willard would do well to check his drop seat before sending him out on the campaign trail again. But that’s always been Willard’s problem. Too many holes and not knowing when to close them.

buckeyeborn · July 3, 2014, 12:08pm

You’re right Dave, that computes!

Bingo! The press is getting irritated that they don’t have a horse race to start following for 2016. Hilary has no competition at this time, and the republican hopefuls keep blowing themselves up.

So they speculate about Romney and Gore running again.
