      And as MinnFan notes, the news outlet isn't always determinative of how sympathetic a commenter is on a given situation, as seems to be the case here.

        I second the Ted Nugent choice. Personally I think a move like that would make Mittens unbeatable in Michigan!!! (Nugent is the Motor City Madman, right?)

          We'd have to respond with Suzi Quatro, to take both Michigan and Wisconsin (as Leather Tuscadero).

            I'd love it if it were Colin Powell, and it would fit the overall theme so far.

            My money is on Clint though, especially as he is rumored to be flying to Florida today (I think joecct posted the first link below earlier). When he was elected as Mayor of Carmel, didn't he run as a Republican then?

            http://dailycaller.com/2012/08/30/fo...stery-speaker/

            the fox news article to which the dailycaller site links also mentions Tim Tebow (!) as a potential mystery speaker. I doubt that one.

              Tebow might want to give some thought to getting into politics.

                And... it's Eastwood. He comes on right after Taylor Hicks.

                Pretty ironic that Eastwood did the "Imported in Detroit" super bowl ad, and now he endorses the guy who wanted to let Detroit go belly up.

                  Um, both Romney and Obama wanted GM to go through a bankruptcy process, no?

                  Romney merely said we should have followed the rule of law; Obama said we should arbitrarily adjust the bankruptcy process so that the UAW was protected while bondholders had to take losses even though under the rule of law they were supposed to have first priority under a reorganized company.

                      What's untrue?

                      GM was reorganized, right?

                      UAW did get preferential treatment, right?

                      Bondholders did get moved down the priority list, right?

                      So, since all three of those things are true, there is no lie, right?

                        If GM had gone into bankruptcy GM would no longer exist. They needed a loan that NO ONE was going to give them or they were not going to survive.

                          Do we need to bring DrD back in here in order to explain how the bondholders were royally screwed?

                            Oh, well. Every investment carries risk. I got screwed in 2008 as well. No ones crying for me.

                              You apparently don't know very much about corporate reorganization under the bankruptcy laws. GM didn't "need" a loan, GM needed debt relief, in particular relief from its pension obligations. The loan bailed out the UAW, not GM.

                              There are dozens of companies still in business today that have gone through reorganization under the bankruptcy laws.

                              also, I thought you said you never watch Hannity? I don't, and so I don't know what his "talking points" are. How come you do??

                                So my expectation is that there will be some popping of the blister after this election, because it will have been such a stark choice. Where Republicans refuse to cooperate on things that I know are good for the American people, I will continue to look for ways to do it administratively and work around Congress.
                                That would be the president... good to know that he plans on expanding his tyrannical role. My wish is that Romney would stomp him for this tonight.
