Thanks for posting that, Andrea. I would not have seen it anywhere else.The Republican convention could be interesting, but I believe their hatred of Obama will in the long run put out any flames of rebellion before it starts.As for Jeb, I don't think Romney would select him as VP simply because he would appear stronger than Mitt, assuming Jeb would even consider it in the first place.Then again, were the convention to fail to nominate Romney, and moderate heads prevailed, Jeb could run away with it. And I think Jeb would rather run against Obama now than run against Hillary Clinton in 2016 notwithstanding his stance on the CBS Morning show that he felt this might have been his time and he passed, or perhaps because of that stance.Too, as long as the bad taste of his brother lingers, it could be a discouraging and/or postponing factor.In any event I will be watching hoping to see Romney emerge the nominee.
