Probably the potential Veep candidate who vetted best would have been Huntsman, except they couldn't have two Mormons on the ticket.

They quickly dismissed Christie and McDonnell from what I saw, which says a lot.

The Romney campaign was also terrible at mathematics.

14. White collar prison

Prison where the inmates have smart phones, laptop computers and meals served on glass plates with clean table cloths. He will spend his hours of rehabilitation hitting the gym, getting a tan, and writing that book he always wanted to write. When he gets out there will be the book deal and that 'political consulting' job at Fox News to pay the bills.

No wonder they keep doing it. There's virtually no consequences.

As hard as he was playing the Jesus Card, I really figured they'd hand him a thousand hours of community service and no prison time.

It's at least eight years less than he should have received; I would have pitched his ass in prison for fifteen years without possibility of parole without one pang of remorse. And then I'd have asked the state of Virginia to oversee his confinement; maybe his cellmate would have been someone whose act was made illegal by Bob McDonnell.

Going by all I've read, she was the driving force behind their schemes. She should get a harsher sentence than he did.
