Worst Christmas Present Ever
AIDE SAYS ROMNEY TO FORMALLY KICK OFF PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN FIRST WEEK OF JANUARY, TIMING TO DEPEND ON WHAT McCAIN DOES
FITSNews – December 23, 2006 - Yeah, we totally didn’t see this coming either, but apparently Mitt Romney is going to run for President of the United States.
In other news, gravity … yup, it still works.
Anyway, according to a top Romney aide (whose name might as well be Nostradamus), Romney will file the formal paperwork with the FEC on January 2 and formally announce his candidacy the week of January 8.
Which would probably make the following answer Romney gave to the Boston press corps earlier today a bunch of bullshit:
“The real question is could I be able to make a real contribution to the people of this country, could I make America’s future brighter, and that’s something which I’ll give consideration to over the holiday.”
Right, Mitt. It was a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ question, not an invitation to cheese out on us.
According to his aide Mr. Nostradamus, the only thing Romney will be “giving consideration” to over the holidays is how to keep John McCain from stealing his announcement thunder. The Arizona Senator is also expected to kick off his candidacy for the Presidency sometime in early January, and there’s a good chance both egos aren’t going to fit in the same news cycle.
In fact, McCain and Romney announcing their candidacies on the same day would probably be a lot like “crossing the streams” in Ghostbusters, and you remember what Egon said about crossing the streams. Unless a hundred foot tall Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man is bearing down on you and the survival of the world depends on achieving “total protonic reversal,” you never cross the streams.
