And I'm not saying he's a bad man, I have no idea.

> But considering the fact there has already been a Recall effort he had to deal with is pretty bad.
> Do Christians embrace him? Not exactly. > http://www.jindalisbad.com/bobby-jindal-and-religion/
> When he was first running, he told Wolf Blitzer he hadn't ruled out supporting Senator Obama
> Oh yeah.. the exorcisim issue..

A lot changes when your name is banded about in the Veepstakes now and I haven't been able to locate the interview of Wolf and Jindal discussing how Bobby though Obama was a fantastic choice.

But hey.

If you think he's a good choice, he'll be fine by us I'm quite sure!!!

4. Lieberman
He's a charisma black hole and he'll make the base explode because he's a) Jewish and b) supposedly an ultra-liberal.

19. Evangelicals have already said they don't want Mitt.
If I were very objectively looking at it as a political decision, I would say he's a good choice anyay, because he's got some executive skills and economics know-how, and he can be personable and the man is photogenic.

Which is why McCain would H*A*T*E every day of campaigning with him. I get the feeling that McCain would not like standing next to tall, slick, and always-polished Mr. Romney, and might prefer to have someone who's more, shall we say--underwhelming. McCain means to be the "bride" at this wedding. (Or corpse at this funeral...to morbidly finish an old political saw.)

24. As a Democrat and a Discordian, I like Lieberman for McCain.
Uh, yes. I think John McCain has lost his political soul, and there's no one like Holy Joe, who has, as I think we all know, personally checked McCain's bearings (and may even do this on a regular basis) to help him get it back. It would be Maverick (tm of the McCampaign) of him, and show he really wasn't just a Bush 2.0. Yes, I think I will challenge his campaign to find a *gutsier* choice. I double-dog dare them in fact. Does he really plan to stand for change, or is he going to go and pick a "safe" Republican running mate, just like all the other Republicans before him?

Does he want to show some guts and edgy leadership? Or is he...chicken?

McCain/Lieberman 2008--catch the McMentum!


(Plus, I enjoy watching train wrecks...from a safe distance.)
