Now that oft-malfunctioning robot Mitt Romney has effectively fended off the various insane people who were running against him for the Republican presidential nomination, attention has turned to the burning question every presidential candidate faces once he or she reaches the plateau Romney now finds himself on: who will be chosen to be the running mate?
Obviously, the list of potential candidates is endless — especially considering that John McCain went with an squawking Alaskan snow globe in 2008 — but no one, as the Daily Show points out, seems to be eager to be Mitt’s number two.
Ah, but there is one man…

The problem is that pretty much everybody who might be qualified is convinced they’ll be able to take the White House in 2016 (Marco Rubio, for example). They don’t want to taint their introduction to the wider public with a losing campaign. Hence the hot potato game.
Herman Cain is a bit of an asshole, and not too bright, but I gotta admit I like him. He’s an entertainer, for sure.
Hey, if he does become the Veep nominee, it’ll be highly entertaining.
A total frickin’ train wreck. But highly entertaining.
