If There Is Any Truth to Wikipedia Test… Rob Portman or Kelly Ayotte Will Be the VP Nominee

Frontrunner: Seen here with Mitt Romney today, New Hampshire Senator Kelly Ayotte (right) had the most edits on her Wikipedia page out of all of the potential VP candidates. (Daily Mail)

According to strategists, the Wikipedia page of the actual vice presidential nominee will undergo several changes leading up to the announcement by the campaign. If the theory holds, Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) would be Mitt’s pick for running mate by the looks of his Wikipedia page.
Investors.com reported:

As of 1:45 p.m. ET Tuesday, Capital Hill downloaded the Wikipedia pages of the top contenders to be Mitt Romney’s running mate on the theory, supported by the 2008 election, that the Wikipedia page of the actual vice presidential nominee will undergo serious editing in the days just before the announcement is made.

We’ll get into the full list down below, but as of 3:15 p.m. ET today, the only page with substantial changes is that of Ohio Sen. Rob Portman. Yesterday, when his page was copied into a Word file, it had 15 pages, 3,787 words, and 21,499 characters. As of this writing, it has 13 pages, 3,210 words, and 18,022 characters.

Portman is not alone…
New Hampshire Senator Kelly Ayotte has the highest number (153) of edits out of all of Romney’s possibilities; coincides with joint appearance today.

My God! If she’s a frontrunner what kind of race can it be? Did Romney buy her those clothes out of campaign funds?

Ayotte strikes me as a bad choice – Why?

Because I am a fairly savvy, blogospheric intimate, well-informed DC-Northern Virginian, and I know NOTHING about her whatsoever. Granted, that kinda describes Palin 2008, but let’s face it, there’s only one Sarah Palin.

Ayotte would be an unserious choice, chosen entirely because she’s a woman, hoping that more pandering nonsense will pay off, and everyone would see it as such. Let’s face it, if voters are gonna vote in 2012 for idiotic reasons like “ooo, let’s make hissstoreeee!…. first one ever!!!”….. and all that crap, instead of voting for… “we are freeking DOOMED if we don’t get this right!”…. then they’ll just vote for the master-panderers and theatricalists full bore, not the lite version. The GOP strategy of “Democratic, just not THAT Democratic” is McCain redux.

I like Ryan, given that the top ten issues facing the country are, in alphabetical order… ‘debt, debt, debt, debt, debt, debt, debt, debt, debt, and debt’, at least Ryan will tell the country we are damn serious about it. Portman I’ll stay agnostic on. But Ayotte needs a bigger national stature, or it will be seen as more of the same dicing up the electorate into constituencies crap that got us exactly where we are…. at the edge of an abyss with a President crying “Forward!”

you know, #3 that Harry Reid can find out who and where you are and sue you for every cent you have for making cracks like that.
Any cold hard facts to back up your wise-crack?

yes..

and not only that, but original sources are being sucked up via Obama’s
black hole machine, ergo, Wiki will be about the only source left in the
not too distant future, well, if AG has anything to say about it anyways,
and as irony would have, he does..

My guess is Obama spies inside Romney’s camp told Obama it is Bobby Jindal ….and that a Jindal pick has something to do with the secret communist issued order for Wade Page, one of Obama’s special op force nazis under the command and training of the Southern Poverty Law Center, to slaughter a bunch of Sikhs in a state at high risk of flipping to Romney. The idea being to preemptively abort any sikh pride at the Jindal pick and handicapp the indian community with a wave of fear and intimidation ….and then Paul Ryan’s district was chosen for the slaughter in case Romney changes his mind and passes over Jindal for Ryan.
