Gov. Go Go and Sen. Stormy –

Steele’s 2012 GOP Dream Ticket?

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele has the unenviable task of shepherding two candidates into what figures to be the 2012 model Obama Republican Shredder, unless he strips away his blinders and sees a winning ticket as Mother Nature made one.

If he keeps the blinders, he’ll only see the likes of Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh, Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee, to name a few. But if he sheds those blinders, he’ll see the greatest Republican national ticket since Reagan-Bush.

The pulsing, throbbing political passions these two candidates inspire are guaranteed to arouse the Republican base.

We refer of course to a Republican 2012 presidential ticket of Alaska’s Gov. Sarah Palin and the person many in politics call a real comer, Stormy Daniels, who has an exploratory committee looking at a 2010 race against Louisiana’s Republican Sen. David Vitter.

Governor Palin’s candidacy speaks for itself, which is fortunate since her speaking performance as Senator John McCain’s running mate got mixed reviews. But it introduced her to the national stage you betcha. Her ability to balance the Golden Ager at the top of the ticket with the Miracle of Life provided by her unwed pregnant daughter, all the while keeping an eye on Russia across the Bering Strait and shopping at Saks Fifth Avenue made her the stuff of legend.

Rather than being cowed by national media milking the issues of unprotected sex and Saks, she became the go-to person for lively quotes in the McCain campaign, a Governor Go Go on the national stage.

Ms. Daniels is a veteran of films noted for exceptional wardrobe cost control. She brings excellent face recognition to the ticket, with similar results on all body parts. Although some questioned whether a star of porno flicks could perform in the United States Senate, supporters said her experience and the long list of Senators caught with their pants down would be a good fit.

Ms. Daniels film positions are many and well recorded. For others, she has a forthcoming book, according to her exploratory committee’s website, “Stormblazer! Stormy Daniels and the Triumph of Responsibility.” Her exploratory website splash page doesn’t declare a party affiliation.

As he considers the implications of a ticket featuring Palin and Daniels, Steele’s job is probably made easier by recalling that while Daniels is comfortable on top, she doesn’t need to be there to perform well.

The wide-appeal fundraising possibilities alone of a Palin-Daniels ticket make it worthy of serious consideration. Donors could be offered a chance to explore field dressing or undressing with each candidate demonstrating their particular skills.

It’s not known whether anyone has approached RNC Chairman Steele with these ideas before. The Republican National Committee website splash page informs us that “Chairman Steele is listening to social media,” so anything is possible, including Republican wins in 2010 and the big one in 2012.

You betcha.
