If Romney picks a running mate with solid Christian credentials, it would diminish the Mormon factor.
"I think of the raw deal towards Bernard Goetz."
Manhattan DA Morgenthau prosecuted Goetz while Ed Koch was mayor.
Although I have heard of Minnesota, I have never heard of Pawlenty before;) Is he a good energetic Conserative?
He speaks the truth, with conviction and humor, and he speaks it well. Everyone likes him, including his enemies. He has the ability to bring people from opposite perspectives together. He's not afraid to give a dig at someone, but does it in such a way that you still like him afterward. He has gravitas with a soft side. And he's a Christian. He is a visionary, and here in Minnesota he is a big proponent of alternative energy. He is true blue, someone you can trust.

Yes.but he a couple of drinks away from an MI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Would Rudy finish the wall? Be tuff on Countries taking our money and bad mouthing us? Be tuff on the UN? Do tax cuts?
The RNC needs gutted!!!!!
The men and boys usually wear coats and ties. Hair looks clean and well groomed (no dreadlocks). Shoes shined, etc.
Many years ago, the company I worked for merged with a Utah company. Several Utah execs (Mormons) were transferred to our headquarters in Oklahoma. Got to know some of them well, and I was impressed with the lives they led. They looked, and acted .. well .. clean cut.
So, P.J., this is the closest I can come to answering the question.

I would trust him as much or more so than ANY other candidate to do those things.
case in point : SUSSA . You even jabbed him/her and he was agreeing with you.
Maybe. But most people on this thread think that's who we should run in 08. I don't want a true conservative anyway. Everyone thougth Bush was, and he is not.
Maryland is south of the Mason Dixon line. Do you know what happened to Michael Steele? While he was in the line waiting to vote, black Americans jeered at him. A good man lost that election. So yes, I think Southerners just might prefer a white socialist....and even northerners...case in Point - Lynn Swann.
I agree with everything Rudy said in your post # 434. Thanks for posting that. I want him to put security of our country first.
To me the candidates religion preference is no big deal (except if the candidate is a Satanic Worshipper)... I think you are right.....
I never thought Bush was a Conservative. He is a Christian but his economics are Keynesian and he was Talking his Daddy's "kinder gentler" talk from the beginning. That kind of talk means it does not matter what his principles are, he is going to warp them around to get along. He always sounded to me like a Rockefeller Republican who was good on defense. But he proved out different even there with his Johnsonesque approach to this war. Johnson lost his job for his hearts-and-minds stuff. Bush lost his Congress for it.
I don't know who I want to be the Republican nominee for 2008 but can we PLEASE, PLEASE, PRETTY PLEASE find someone who hasn't been caught up in a sex/adultry scandal? Please? Isn't there someone? Newt, Giuliani, McCain....If they had issues respecting their marriage vows, what makes us think that they would be able to respect their vows to us? We railed at Clinton (rightfully so) for years and now we are talking about electing someone who has also cheated?
*sigh* It depresses me that these people who could really be great can't keep it in their pants.
