Yep, I saw the clip as well. Is no longer available on the web, mind you.

MC will never pick Mitt for VP. The upside is too small (he would bring only a s very small group opf supporters since MA is a dem. State) and the potential downside and fall out constitute too much of a political risk. MC is already weak with his own constituency and the radicals will NEVER vote for Mitt because they see him also as a potential candidate for the White House in 4 years. MC does not have the backbone to stand up and defend Mitt. He had ample opportunity during the primary and he never did. In fact, nobody from the GOP endorsed or even publicly supported MR during the primary.

That was a sad tale. No even Kennedy endured that kind of hostility being the first Catholic presidential candidate.
