Benghazi-Petraeus-Broadwell-Allen-Kelley Scandal

With the elections over it almost seemed like I was going to run out of material for this blog. But that is not the case! This Benghazi-Petraeus-Broadwell-Allen-Kelley scandal is too crazy to not talk about.

Let's do a really simple recap of what promises to quickly not be a simple situation.

General David Petraeus-
Former top dog in Afghanistan
Former General
Was the CIA director until a few days ago
Knows a lot of dirt on Benghazi
Had an affair with Paula Broadwell (his biographer)
Married

Petraeus for VP?

Drudge has a source that says that President Obama has a source the Governor Romney has picked General Petraeus to be the VP.

This is intriguing, although I doubt it is true.

First, if there was such a source that close to Romney to get that information, it would be close to traitorous to share it with Obama. (Unless it was a Secret Service person. That is conceivable, but a total violation of duties to share such a confidence.)

Second, while I would be impressed with a left-field pick from Romney, this one is too left-field. Starting with, the left. Petraeus is a Democrat. For five perfectly valid other reasons, read this.

But it all brings up an interesting point. Does Romney need a VP with a good military and international relations background?

And I'm not sure if this was meant to be funny, but the VEEPSTAKES BASICS is hilarious, and dead-on accurate.
