Posted on August 6, 2012 at 9:46pm[I am an Evangelical Tea Partier since day one, Romney was not my first choice but needs all of our money and where posible actual campaigning. I have donated several xs and will continue; don't think all is well and good because he's beating Obummer-Burden in the $$$$ game. Send some today and enter in this exciting contest:]
Sometime soon, Mitt will be announcing
his choice for VP. And every week until the VP announcement is made, one
lucky supporter will win the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet
Mitt and his running mate.
This is an exciting time — and an even more exciting chance to
meet the team that will bring America back. Who in America wouldn’t want
to be a part of this?

I just wish mitt would do a complete overhaul with his staff, He is using most of bush’s advisers.
On a sad note, “the Romney team has invited Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez and South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley. Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, Ohio Governor John Kasich, Arizona Senator John McCain and Florida Governor Rick Scott will also have prime time speaking roles.“ All Liberals speaking at the ”RNC”
