Jindal and Paulin are, like Oprah’s Obama, too inexperienced. The media would point out that Jindal and Paulin are too young and inexperienced, and the American people will fall in line.
Seems to me like McCain didn’t like Romney calling him a liberal again and again on the campaign trail. Perhaps he just floated his name to appease conservatives a bit hacked that the moderates and liberals overran the early primary votes??
I’ve said it before he will pick some third rate county auditor from southern Idaho as his running mate. John is not the type to have anybody on the ticket that can outshine him on any level. And outshining John is not that hard. This is an LBJ like landslide with long coattails in the making just like the last time we ran a Senator from Arizona as our candidate.
McQueeg knows that Romney makes him look like the buffoon that he is and his ego is too freaking out of control not to be threatened by that.
Either Mc Queeg picks Romney or New Englanders in general won’t vote for him.
McQueeg sees things on a National scale and he is not that bright.
If he loses N.E. and he will, because Dems here love Hillary in spite of Teddy, Lahey, Dodd.
The Northeast Dems are racist, but they will never give over to a Republican ticket.
So if he actually wants to recruit some N.E Republicans to bring those Moderate Dems along,
He’ll choose Romney.
Other than that, it will be the lowest turnout in years except for College Students and Moonbats ( we have plenty of them.. they are not a majority however).
Just my thoughts from personal observation in enemy territory.
Well..it definitely NEEDS to be a GOVERNOR....someone who has had to live (sorta) with a BUDGET.....something Senators don’t really know anything about....
Several weeks ago, it was Rice. Then Huckabee. Then Romney. Now Jindal & Palin.
Per one report last week, even Michael Bloomberg was on the short list — McCain's short list and Obama’s short list.
Why is everyone fawning over Jindal? Please, leave the man alone and let him clean up Louisiana. The guy is only 38 years old. He’s got plenty of time and he’ll be a prime candidate in 2012. The same people pushing Jindal are the ones who drooled over Condi Rice a few years ago.
Palin has more experience as Governor than Jindal (2 versus 1 year). Both have more executive experience that Obama (0).
Both Palin and Jindal have a variety of other experience, in total comparable to Obama’s experience.
If Obama has enough experience to be President, both Palen and Jindal have enough experience.
Moreso, both Palin and Jindal have shown themselves to be good governors in challenging situations. And, both have compelling stories.
Bottom line for me: Palin is a reformer who has taken on the Republican establishment in her state, raised a son who joined the military during a time of war, and brought a Downs Syndrome child into the world when others would have aborted the baby. These things tell me that she lives the values I associate with the Republican Party.
Palin will help us peel off so-called working class Democrats and win in the states we have to win in November. I’m not sure Jindal would help us do that.
Gee, didn't all the anti-Romney people tell me that he would morph back into lib-lite as McCain's VP? It sure doesn't look like it.
The affirmative action choices (sorry) won't fly. Palin, Hutchison, Jindal, Watts, and the like would make McCain look like he's reaching. The media would crucify the choice as Clarence Thomas times 10.
It's going to be a conservative white guy from a swing state.
Romney.
Please let Jindal get some real success in LA first too Young!
Thoughts?
My $0.02.
This weekend meeting was not about picking a VP. I think McCain brought them in to let them know in person that none of them would be his VP. He wants their support in the general campaign. McCain has set up regional campaign structures and each of the people invited will be instrumental in fundraising and campaigning in a particular region.
McCain’s VP pick will be none other than Joe Lieberman. He’s just crazy enough to do it.
McCain’s big plan is to win the middle. His strategy will be focused on independents, RHINO’s, and Reagan Democrats. He will get the lesser of the two evil’s vote from a majority of conservatives anyway. We have no place else to go.....except home.
McQueeg is doing everything in his power not to give conservatives a reason to vote for him.
Insiders and anonymous sources what a laugh. If they actually knew something they would put their name on it.
Folks cream over Jindal primarily because he is a sorta Caucasoid minority
silly
when conservatives use the same demographic litmus tests as the Left for race or gender, they can kiss my arse
Romney said awhile back that he would not be picked as VP.
If liberal Charlie Crist were picked, I will not vote for McCain, nor would many other strong conservatives, so I hope it’s true that Crist is out.
However, if someone pro-life, and conservative in other ways, like Governor Bobby Jindal, Senator John Thune, Governor Palin, Rob Portman were picked, I might even contribute to John McCain’s campaign, and it would be the first time I ever contributed to the campaign of a moderate.
btw, Bobby Jindal received a 100% rating in 2006 from the ACU, when he was a congressman:
