More significantly, Our Man Mitch delivered a serious and realistic message on fiscal probity and political unity. We like the following snippets from the Des Moines Register's report:
We will need people who never tune in to Rush or Glenn or Laura or Sean. Who surf past C-SPAN to get to SportsCenter. Who, if they’d ever heard of CPAC, would assume it was a cruise ship accessory. . . .
Medicare 2.0 should restore to the next generation the dignity of making their own decisions, by delivering its dollars directly to the individual, based on financial and medical need, entrusting and empowering citizens to choose their own insurance and, inevitably, pay for more of their routine care like the discerning, autonomous consumers we know them to be. . . .
With apologies for the banality, I would submit that as we ask Americans to join us on such a boldly different course, it would help if they liked us just a bit.
America, elect this man!

He's just so reasonable. The only response anyone who disagrees with him is, "I respectfully disagree with you." This obviously ensures his unelectability at the Convention via Palin, Inc.
Even if people disagree with him, he's willing to dialogue with them, BUT without being disagreeable. So, naming some people who wouldn't fit into that category is good.
We'll state what we think is the obvious but largely unspoken: Palin has absolutely no chance of winning the GOP nomination. As in none. Further, we believe she has no interest, inasmuch as being who she is now is less responsible and more lucrative. She may run, but in the manner of those who run to enhance their profile (Alan Keyes, Dennis Kucinnich, Ralph Nader), not to win and serve.
We'll state further that Palin & Co.'s insistence on the most consistent of conservative commitments, which essentially means political belligerence, will not carry someone of that ilk to the nomination either. Republican primaries will be flooded with independents in 2012, not just with conservative activists.
