RUSH: Let\u2019s get into some arguments over who\u2019s gonna speak at the Republican convention and the veep. Bill Kristol is out there now saying that Thursday is the day to watch for Romney\u2019s veep pick. Bill Kristol, Weekly Standard, appeared on Fox News, where he discussed an editorial published over the weekend in which he recommends that Romney pick either Paul Ryan or Marco Rubio.<\/p>\n
And he went on to say that he thinks that Thursday is the day to watch as the most likely time in which Romney would reveal his VP pick. He said, “You look at Romney\u2019s schedule. He\u2019s got events in Illinois Tuesday, Iowa Wednesday, a fundraising breakfast Thursday morning in New York. His calendar is then clear, so far as I [Bill Kristol] can tell, it\u2019s Thursday afternoon and Friday. Then he starts a barnstorming tour Saturday in Virginia, North Carolina Sunday, Florida Monday, Ohio Tuesday.<\/p>\n
“It would be pretty weird, I think, to do this four-day tour through the four swing states without having picked a VP.” Why would it be “weird” to go through there without picking a VP yet? I can actually see waiting until the night of the convention to pick the VP, or to announce it. At any rate, so, Chris Christie is back. Kristol likes Christie back in the mix, Rubio, and maybe Paul Ryan. (interruption) No, no, don\u2019t misunderstand.<\/p>\n
No, what I meant was when the initial roster of speakers was announced for the Republican convention, there weren\u2019t too many conservatives listed there. And Santorum, who has offered every ounce of assistance, has been rebuffed, and his name wasn\u2019t on the list to speak. So some people made some noise about it, and last night they announced Santorum\u2019s going to speak, which is a good thing. No, no, don\u2019t misunderstand me.<\/p>\n
Speaking of the veep business, Obama is out there, he whispered to some people yesterday he thinks it\u2019s gonna be Petraeus. Yeah. And Drudge has run with this as the lead item, that it\u2019s gonna be Petraeus as the veep. General Petraeus. Do you remember him? General Betray Us in the MoveOn.org ad back during the Iraq surge era and so forth. So a lot of names are floating around out there. It\u2019s also been announced that Jimmy Carter is going to speak at the Democrat convention by video. They\u2019re not actually letting him in the convention hall. Well, when they told him they weren\u2019t gonna let Michael Moore sit next to him, I think he threw a fit. <\/p>\n

There is no progress. No matter how you define it, there\u2019s no progress, not for the American people. There might be progress for big government socialist types. “Carter, who spent his post-White House years hammering nails at Habitat for Humanity, will offer unique insights on Obama as a global leader on Tuesday, September 4th.” Unique insights on Obama as a global leader. What are we gonna get? Videotape highlights of Obama bowing down to this leader and bowing down to that leader and apologizing to this foreign leader and apologizing to that one? What unique insights are there on Obama as a global leader? Obama won the peace prize. So did Jimmy Carter win the peace prize. But he hadn\u2019t done anything for it. Neither of \u2019em have.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
