So where do I start? In response to my claim that Romney ‘brings no excitement, interest, or value to McCain’s ticket’, you write that Romney is a ‘very positve, forward-looking person’. A nonsequitur response to be sure, but beyond that, I’m not looking for Tony Robbins in the White House, I’m looking for a principled, firm leader.
You complain about Huckabee taking votes from Romney? Tell you what, if Romney can’t even out-poll a stiff like Mike Huckabee, don’t try to tell me he’s a popular and viable candidate.
And then you focus on Jindal’s ‘experience’, without even understanding a far more significant point, which is drawing focus to the immigrant/minority issues. Jindal personifies how it should be done, openly appreciates this country, and undermines Obama and his darling wife’s whiny, negative portrayal of America. Not to mention that Jindal can actually talk, a skill that has been lacking among Republican spokesmen for the past 20 years since Reagan. What a bunch of verbally and conceptually-challenged clowns we have running out there.
How is that a non-sequitur? You said Romney doesn't bring in any excitement to the ticket but he does. Top Republicans are all behind Romney for VP. Conservatives are too. He brings an enthusiasm to the campaign in contrast to McCain's dour bloodhound look. That's simply a fact.
Tell you what, if Romney can’t even out-poll a stiff like Mike Huckabee
Huckabee attracted social conservatives. He did not attract the other two legs of the Reagan stool. That's the thing. Huckabee doesn't have broad conservative support. All he had was the religious right. He was a firewall for McCain, which locked Romney out of the primary. I'm sorry if you clearly do not see this.
And then you focus on Jindal’s ‘experience’, without even understanding a far more significant point, which is drawing focus to the immigrant/minority issues.
Since when did conservatives care about affirmative action? Jindal is not qualified to be VP. He is only 36 years old, he only served 3 years in Congress and he was just elected LA Governor.
Jindal personifies how it should be done
Like how he handled the pay raise thingy?
openly appreciates this country, and undermines Obama and his darling wife’s whiny, negative portrayal of America.
That's all fine and heart-string tugging, but he still doesn't have experience to be a heartbeat away from the Presidency.
