Meanwhile, Across the Aisle

Everyone seems to be SOOOOOOO interested in who Barack Obama's Vice Presidential running mate will be, but the question of who John McCain's will be, yawn, barely comes up. Lately, the scuttlebutt seems to suggest Mitt Romney, but from what I've seen it's mentioned only as a segue to talk more about Obama. "Well Jim, that was interesting, what you just said about McCain and the economy. Since he seems to be moving in the direction of Mitt Romney as VP, do you think Obama will pick Hillary Clinton?" Why is this? McCain, as we're nightly reminded by the talk show hosts, is OLD! He's older than Reagan was and we're not sure if Reagan knew his own name by the time he left office. McCain will be 72 by Inauguration Day. He could conceivably die in the next four years. Shouldn't we all be watching the Republican Vice Presidential vetting process a lot closer than Obama's (does anyone outside of Washington care one bit about the 'vetting the vetters' scandal)? I DON'T WANT PRESIDENT ROMNEY!!!

P.S. This picture of Dan Quayle is just a reminder of how terribly wrong a Vice Presidential choice can be.

Mitt Romney is Not Hot: A Scientific Explanation

While McCain had his hot day in the sun, I've concluded that Mitt Romney is neither hot now nor was he ever. Even as a baby. Although I haven't seen his baby pics, it's what we refer to here at Dimpled Chads as, "an educated guess." What's that? Why am I talking about Mitt Romney? Don't I know he's not the Republican nominee? Yes, I do know that, but apparently Romney and McCain have been bonding lately. Whatever that means, my guess would be Mitt is informing John about the healthy option to a healthy glow: the spray tan.

Anyway, at other blogs you might get an analysis of what a McCain-Romney ticket would do to the political landscape at this point. But I know you come to Dimpled Chads for our own unique perspective on things, so I present to you: Reasons Mitt Romney, despite what you might think, is not, in fact, hot.

1. The tan. Ew.

And that concludes this in-depth analysis of Romney's lack of hotness. Tune in later when I tackle Bill Richardson's beard.
