'It Would Be an Honor to Be Considered'

On Wednesday, Chuck Todd, NBC News’ political director and host of MSNBC’s “Daily Rundown,” rhetorically asked: “Just what has Romney promised Ron Paul.”

 

Nobody knows if some sort of bargain has been made, but it is interesting that Rep. Ron Paul has never really attacked Mitt Romney, yet he has frequently attacked more conservative candidates at just the moment they were beginning to pose a threat to Romney. (For example, consider his latest ad, attacking Rick Santorum.)

 

The timing has been noticeable.

 

Now, a Kentucky media outlet, WFPL News, might be offering us a clue:

 

    Kentucky’s junior senator says it would be an honor to be considered as a possible running mate for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

 

    … After a speech in Louisville today, [Sen. Rand] Paul held that door firmly open, saying he wants to be part of the national debate.

 

    … “I don’t know if I can answer that question, but I can say it would be an honor to be considered,” he said.

Nothing but a whole lot of desperation rumors created and fueled by a sinking Santorum campaign full of whiny babies.

Who was the last vice presidential candidate on a failed national ticket to come back and win his/her party's nomination for President?

Answer: I haven't scoured back to the early 20th century, but in the last 60 years, at least, there has only been one instance of that happening that I can find: Bob Dole was Gerald Ford's vice presidential running mate in 1976. 20 years later, he was the presidential nominee of the Republican Party.

I think that Paul has to attack the anti-Romney candidates because he wants to be the anti-Romney candidate. We all know what Romney is, and that he can't seem to break 36%.
