Makes me wonder how David French or Tom Coburn could have done had they announced earlier, or how Gary johnson could have done if could act normal
Coburn has health issues, French is too unknown. Yeah, if Johnson could have run a solid campaign or if Weld were at the top of the ticket, they could have gotten 20-25% of the popular vote and quite possibly throw the election to the House.
My fantasy earlier in the year was Romney running as an independent. He thought about it, but I think he's genuinely exhausted from running and wants to spend time with his family.
...and this guy?
IIRC He's a National Review journalist who Bill Kristol nominated and tried to get conservative and neo-con endorsements but couldn't even find a VP candidate
He gave up back in June
