If McCain knew beforehand, then I really wish McCain would have picked someone else. I'm more mad at McCain because he did this to us.

What he did for me (and us) is pick a strong conservative who increases his odds in November. He did know beforehand just as he knows that "someone else" would have problems as well. Why don't you name and defend a better candidate?

I do not have thorough background information on these candidats, so I don’t know everything about them. They are just on my list of people to consider. If they don’t match up to Palin, then okay:

Females:

Meg Whitman, Kay Bailey Hutchison, Elizabeth Dole

Males:

Bobby Jindal, Tim Pawlenty, Mitt Romney

That’s just a first pass. I’ll probably be able to come up with more.
