Jindal? The guy just took office.
No.
Not yet.
We don’t know enough about Jindal and he doesn’t have enough experience. If he was on a losing ticket, he’s probably never recover his momentum in politics.
As it is, he’s got a long & promising career ahead of him.
While I believe Jindal will someday be part of a Presidential ticket, I don’t think it’s going to happen this time. Just on a SWAG (Scientific Wild-A** Guess), I’d say 2016, maybe 2012.
Absolutely right.
Jindal has potential to be a star. Find someone else and let him work a miracle in the swamp.
It would also neutralized the racial benefits I think. Not that I want the racists to help GOP. I hope they stay at home, but the fact that if Obama is the nominee, that alone would result in huge gains. Most from the bitter bloc. With Jindal on the ticket, bitter block would get bitterer (new word) or stay home.
I don’t think East Indians are big enough voting group to tilt any of the Battle Ground States in favor of GOP. Although their may be some dumb hispanics who might be tricked into voting for him. ;o)
Second, you want a guy who could be PRESIDENT behind McCain because of his age issue. That doesn’t mean the guy behind him can be in baby diapers. This guy simply lacks the experience AND gravitas.
Finally, despite all hell breaking lose for GOP, Louisiana is not going to be THE problem. We need some guy to deliver Pennsylvania or Michigan.
Is their a respectable Hispanic Conservative out there?
That would send the Dems scrambling like sniveling rats they are! LOL!
One thing is now certain. It won't be McCain-Jindal.
Polls show McCain-Romney vs. Obama-Clinton: Obama-Clinton won 47 to 41.
What did we ever do to deserve this?
Yeah, because Louisiana REALLY wants a Governor Mitch Landrieu grabbing absolute control of the state with his sister in the Senate.
She was on Charlie Rose the other night. She's W's expert on the ME and has studied economics. She has her act together, doesn't mumble, and gets clearly to the point. She's a looker to boot.
I keep expecting Rod Serling to show up.
That reversal of a three-point McCain lead to a six-point deficit for the McCain ticket suggests what might happen (a) when the Democrats unite, and (b) if McCain were to choose a conventional running mate, who, as it were, reinforced the Republican brand for the ticket. As the McCain aide put it, this is what will happen if we run a traditional campaign; our numbers will gradually regress toward the (losing) generic Republican number.Who is he categorizing as "conventional"--those who support the platform ("brand")?
So, they continue to think the reason Republicans aren't winning is because those "losing" "generic" Republicans just aren't liberal enough?
McCain is definately not that smart.
2012 will be no good. Isn’t that when Art Bell, George Noory, and the remote viewers say the world ends because the Mayan calendar ends?
Really... what’s her CV? I’ve never heard of her.
What cracks me up are the freepers who are crazy about that Alaska female governor (who just had a Down Syndrome baby) being McCain’s VP. They seem to think she’s the Second Coming...or someone close to it.
McCain truly has no chance unless he picks a solid conservative—and the same goes for Hillary needing a Blue Dog for VP.
well in this PC age in which whites are supposed to not act like they know they are white but everyone else can whine about their racial identity then we must kneejerk choose someone other than white male
how touching and weak
Not capable of taking the reigns of President of the United States, were John McCain to croak midstream.
