Update: Not True?
— Ace As of yet Mike Flynn only has this from "sources," so it's not actually confirmed.
At first, the idea seemed like something out of fiction. No, weirder than that, because even Aaron Sorkin couldn't come up with such a convoluted plot device. But, the information came to me from a very high-ranking Republican official who assured me the information came from "very credible sources."
This dovetails with a Politco report that the DNC will feature prominent Republicans.
I don't want to link Politico, but I have to suggest giving that article a read. The Democrats are planning a very negative and hard-hitting convention. I hope the Republicans have a counter to that. And although I'm not the Guy Who's Necessarily Against Gauzy Uplift, I don't know if Gauzy Uplift is going to be enough when you have three days of the Democrats portraying you as Hannibal Lecter.
Update: Bad Tip? I'm told Huntsman's daughters are denying the claim that their dad will speak at the convention, and Drudge has also removed a link to this story, seemingly indicating his skepticism about it.

So it doesn't surprise me to see that the Dems are going to try this for themselves. My guess isn't Huntsman, though.
I'm thinking more along the lines of Susan Collins from Maine. Collins is leaving the Senate and hasn't anything to lose. And she's a leftist at heart. AND she's in a state with a three-way race.
Posted by: Boulder Toilet Hobo at August 10, 2012 01:54 PM (p39hN)
You have to be alive to commit suicide, though. What's his future in the Republican Party?
Just because of the rumors that Huntsman was Reid's source (and that it wasn't completely made up), I'll discount this rumor also--but it certainly wouldn't surprise me if it happened.

Yeah, LaHood isn't just working for Obama, he's a full Obamabot, which even Jon Huntsman wasn't.
Powell would probably be the only really "prominent" Republican who could speak, but that would be pretty weak tea. He burned all his GOP bridges 4 years ago.
I think their "prominent Republicans" will all be Concerned Christian Conservatives.

They get a salary (too much, in this anti-lawyer's opinion) and they can pay for themselves to go just like anybody else in the private (or, for that matter academic) sector has to do.
We really need the judiciary to be more isolated and incestuous in its thinking? No thanks.

Most of them are paid. Most of them don't even bother to refute the claim when you throw it in their faces over and over again.
The ones that aren't paid are simply pathological. And pathogens.
It's science.

By "exactly the same," do you mean slightly behind to slightly ahead in the national polls? Because I think those things mean different things to you and me.

Obama wants to gin up his base. For whites, that means Yankees; that means the "greater New England", from Ann Arbor to Cape Cod. Getting Snowe and/or Collins can do that. Specter can't.
Plus, if there's anything both sides know of Specter, it's that he can't be trusted.

Crap, if they have a minority show up at their convention, we'll have no way to counter the optics, unless he first stops by Obama's campaign headquarters in Chicago for a photo-op.

John Warner.
Chuck Hagel.
Olympia Snowe.
Arlen Specter.
Buddy Roemer.
Arnold Schwarzenegger.
*******
Olympia goes up to the podium rips off her wig and announces she has been Arlen Specter in drag--two timing the Senate vote.
(Okay maybe I watched too much Scooby Do!)
Posted by: tasker at August 10, 2012 06:24 PM (r2PLg)
I doubt that Warner would do it, he was a real hawk on defense and sees where Bambi is taking it. Ahnuld knows speaking at the Dem convention would kill his movie career comeback. Arlen is a Dem now. Buddy has been running for President on any line he can get on, and is a Dem turned GOP, so him turning back is no big thing. Snowe speaking wouldn't surprise anyone, but I bet she thinks Romney isn't too extreme. Hagel is the interesting prick, and I believe he would be the one to do it since his wife endorsed Bambi and he didn't endorse McCain in 08.
Good eye on Hagel tasker.

I think that cinches it. Obama's got to keep the "war on women" drums beating. His only hope of re-election is to get a landslide percentage of the emotive-single-woman-looking-for-daddy vote.

Well it has nothing to do with John McCain, and I am not a Concerned Christian Conservative who voted for Nixon back in 72. The name is quite nonpolitical. Fans of the 2006 Stanley Cup Champions, the Carolina Hurrricanes, are called "Caniacs". To differentiate myself from the females of the species, I called myself "MrCaniac". That is it.
I almost have changed it to my favorite sock of Toby the Beagle (as NJ Conservative did when he changed to Charlie Browns Dildo), but have decided to just have TTB as a sock.
If I wanted to get concerned, I would go with MrPaulRevere, a real concerned conservative christian.

Romney can counter that with his life's story and marriage, but he's working on breaking down the "I like Obama cause he's a nice guy" barrier first.
