[...] Bridget Johnson of the Rocky Moutain News thinks the smarter choice for McCain’s VEEP would have been Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal. Like Gov. Palin he would have brought youth and energy to the ticket, except with a substantial policy portfolio that includes: [...]

We have six weeks to go. McCain/Palin is the ticket.

The media would love to spin Palin as an idiot, but the fact is oil rich Putin has been rearing his ugly head to the tune of playing cold war games with nuclear bombers in many parts of the world… including the coast of Alaska which has on many occasions required our jets to intercept and escort their nuclear bombers. She’s no idiot, but you may be if you let the media games fool you into thinking she is.

McCain surprised the media. He was the medias pick. After Nov. 4th, we need to figure out how to fix that. It’s ridiculous that we let democratic (independents) choose the republican candidate in the primaries.

Jindal is too young right now, but that’s a good thing for later. Later is the time to consider it.

I haven’t waded through all 130+ comments, but my (uninformed) reading of the situation was that McCain wanted Jindal as VP, but Jindal turned him down. I have no inside information or friends in high places, but I’ve been a political observer for many years. I don’t think the bottom spot on a McCain ticket would have been incentive enough for Jindal to give up the governorship of Louisiana. OTOH, I could see either a Palin/Jindal or Jindal/Palin ticket in 2012 depending on how 2008 turns out. It’s hard to imagine a ticket better suited to energize the Republican party.

Unless Bobby’s removes corruption from LA , as he committed , he is not yet qualified. Definetly Sarah. Leftwing is upset over Mccain’s choice. They geared for Joe Lieberman, what a samrt play by Mccain who sent a feeler to them , VP can be a pro choice fellow. They thought he was teaching a lesson to Rush. But world went upside down. msnbc -lowest ratings, nY times – lowest readership, they are digging theire own burial grounds.

RE: I see the fear that she will be the factor that energizes the GOP base and brings down the Holy Obammarxist… and alike…

Will it help to bring an politically unexperienced, unqualified lady to the GOP ticket? Why not? When king David became old they too, laid young virgins in his bed to energize “the good old man”…

Yes, Palin was the right choice for McCain. It shows his adequacy for the presidency . . .

haha… socialism, marxism?

get over yourselves people, you have no clue as to what you’re talking about: and to think this is the site where people suggest others should be wearing tin foil hats?

anyway, neither here nor there, but at the risk of sounding elitist by citing “facts” but I thought someone ought to correct the impression left by numerous posters: that Jindal defeated an incumbent democrat. Blanco didn’t run, she knew she was toast. Jindal beat a pack of third string democrats.

Since I had previously read the transcript, I already knew that Palin had not said what you erroneously claimed. So, what you are objecting to is not what she actually said, but your UNDERSTANDING of what she said. She is hardly responsible for your lack of education on the topic.

There are number of wonderful books on the history of relations between the US and the former USSR and current Russia. They can explain her reference to you.

As to your scholarly review of Obama and Biden’s accomplishments in office …. I find it somewhat telling. Not convincing but telling.

I, of course, had nothing whatsoever to do with the previous conversation that you related. That you chose to repeat that experience instead of explaining why you support Obama/Biden – which is the question I asked – tells us that you, apparently, support them just because you do.

As to “Faux” .. while Spanish is my first second language, I do happen to know what the word means.

I just find it hilarious that so many Obama supporters result to that argument so readily and can’t resist the urge to tweak them for their paranoia.

I suggest you use some of your enormous wealth to buy a sense of humor.
