Condi, Huckabee and McCain to Headline GOP Convention.
"Romney wants to play it right down the middle, which may anger some Republicans, but it is where he is most comfortable and feels he has the best chance to win. And no strong partisans means a rather boring convention -- even more boring than usual."

And the sun rises in the east. So what else is new.
We are doomed as a Republic unless our nation gets back to the place where the majority love the constitution as delineated by the Founding Fathers and the Federalist Papers.

And, with respects to his remarkable military record, McCain's only role is to remind the faithful that Mitt ain't as bad as they've ever had on the ballot.
True words, I think.
Bingo!

-Unfortunately, the 'rising stars' are all acting like republicans, not Republicans. That doesn't play well with those booking speakers for the GOP.
That is who I would like to see. Won't happen though, for the reasons stated by Owl.

Romney Gives Libertarians Spot At GOP Convention
by Ulsterman on August 7, 2012 with 37 Comments in News
In what is clearly a nod toward the libertarian-leaning Senator and his longtime fiscal conservative Congressman father and former GOP candidate Ron Paul, the Romney campaign has just confirmed Rand Paul will be among a select group of primetime speakers at the upcoming GOP convention this month.
Inside-the-campaign reports have long suggested both Ron Paul and Mitt Romney were on friendlier terms than other was the case between other Republican candidates during an often bitter fight for the nomination. This good nature is now being extended to Ron Paul’s son and rising star within the Republican Party – Rand Paul. There remain whispers that the popular Kentucky Senator was being considered for the VP slot – though such considerations never reached beyond mere campaign speculation.
Romney is also extending another prime time speaking slot to Rick Santorum, possibly his fiercest rival during the Republican primary race. Both men have since mended fences (at least publicly), and Santorum has publicly declared his intent to help make Barack Obama a one and done president.
I didn't delete joshuaf's posts because he disagreed with me. I love bantering back and forth with people with whom I disagree. I deleted his posts for going waaaaay over the line re. decency and honesty and respectable human behavior. Just look what he wrote about me in the thread re. censorship, to include even threatening me.
Disagreeing with me had nothing to do with why I deleted those two posts.
I agree completely. However, there are many among us, even here on the CF, who do not realize that you cannot fix a problem with the same logic that was used to create it. The post by Spike Bull nailed it. SOS.
Here we go again under the guise of he is the most electable. Which really means he appeals to those who do not agree with Tonyo. - there's the logic.
"Why any of you believe that ORomney will be any different is beyond me. Certainly his choice of speakers illuminates that."
"It means we have more of the same to look forward to, just going over the cliff a little slower........."
.....and may be able to survive the crash at that speed.
Spike, one of the reasons I will vote for him, if nothing else, is to add my foot to the overtaxed and overwwhelmed braking system.
B-Ho is trying to avoid the guard rails altogether as is evidenced in just the last few months of executive powers he has thrown out. Scary stuff. As a lameduck, even scarier. As a picker of Supremes....nightmare land for any conservative way of life out there.
At least with Romney, he is going to be more accountable his first term. He won't be my fave (too moderate), but with a strong Senate and Conress, his feet could be held to the fire...at least I'm hoping.
