Romney is such a moron he actually broke the law on Election day in Wisconsin:

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4k4LlVL7eE]SUBGATE: Romney Ryan hand out Subs for Votes in Waukesha - YouTube[/ame]

Here's the law:

Wis. Stats. Section 12.11(1m)(a) states, in pertinent part, that any person who offers, gives, lends or promises to give or lend, or endeavors to procure, anything of value, or any office or employment or any privilege or immunity to, or for, any elector, or to or for any other person, in order to induce any elector to:
(1). Go to or refrain from going to the polls;
(2). Vote or refrain from voting;
(3). Vote or refrain from voting for or against a particular person;
(4). Vote or refrain from voting for or against a particular referendum; or on account of any elector having done any of the above.

The State of Wisconsin has the authority to suggest the removal or impeachment of a president elect.

Section 12.60(2)(b), Wis. Stats., further provides that, “If a successful candidate for the legislature or U.S. congress is adjudged guilty in a criminal action of any violation of this chapter under sub. (1) (a) committed during his or her candidacy, the court shall after entering judgment certify its findings to the presiding officer of the legislative body to which the candidate was elected.”

Wow. At the very least his votes &/or delegates from Wisconsin should be nullified. It's up to the Wisconsin DA now... Where it's been for over a week with no word yet. :(
 


Oh noes he gave away a sandwich...

On a serious note, I really hope he doesn't pick Paul Ryan as his VP. That dude is so annoying.

MSNBC is making it look kinda bad, but not likely to get him disqualified.

Yeah, Ryan is a dick.

President != Legislature or U.S. congress
 
I'll give out free sandwiches to the mods if they make a political sub forum.

I'll buy the next round.

I'll believe you when I see the sandwiches.

You in vegas or SD? If you're still in Vegas capriotti's is really nice. If you're in SD I'll arrange for a sub to be delivered to your office. A sandwich is a small price to pay for a new subforum for all the political talk.
 
I'm in SD now, and guess what, there's a capriottis very close. They're blowing up! Bobbie so good.

If you're in your office expect a knock on your door. I'm stalking you by proxy.
