Idle thought for a rainy Tuesday...

Just who is Crazy Christy Mihos gonna take on for a running mate in his 3rd party bid for the Governorship?
James Rappaport has been making diresome noises at Kerry Healey but is he personally ready to break with the State GOP?
Humble Elias sez no, but stranger things have happened.
Anyway, Rappaport is a shopworn atavistic character, he came of age as one of those wealthy pseudopopulist conservative rage candidates back in 1990 in his race against John Kerry. Of course, he got his ass kicked that year and since then an unmemorable stint as State GOP Chairman and a abortive run for Lt. Governor in 2002 have done nothing to beef up his resume.
Well who will be Lt. Governor nominee of Mihos and his "Old Milk" party?
The problem is, GOP ranks in this state are sorely depleted, its tough enough to hang on as republican without taking off on some wacky political road trip with Chisty Mihos.
And the ranks of the independents contain no-one of obvious stature or even name recognition.
Maybe Ayla Brown can be convinced to defer entry into BC or if push comes to shove, "Reagan" Christy's dog might do.
After all is there anything in the state constitution that bars a dog from high political office?
