WASHINGTON (AP) - Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell will deliver the Republican response to President Barack Obama's State of the Union address next Wednesday.

That's great, but isn't it by default already illegal to do that?

(nevermind, there I go thinking constitutionally again!)

[aft_lizard]

Sure some are but most people with an inkling of intelligence knows the product. Any hope for a true conservative to be elected statewide in Massachusetss is nothing but pure foolish fantasy.

You’re right. Scott Brown’s win in MA was great and he’s about the best we can hope for from MA but he’s not the furure of the GOP. A guy like Bob McDonnell IS. He’s very good.

[HighlyOpinionated]

Populist: A supporter of the rights and power of the people.

If the GOP retains Mikey Steele, then more “Republican/Independets” will run as Populists [not the 1891 political party].

Sarah Palin, Scott Brown, Bob McDonnell, and others who use the “R” are not Mikey Steele and the GOP style Republicans. They are Populist Republicans. And that’s why they get the votes and why they win. They don’t want nor need Mikey Steele to come to their States and rally voters. The voters are already rallied. Mikey Steele would be the “kiss of defeat” just like 0bama is for Democrats.

Think outside the “Republican” Box! The New “R” politicians do not fit into a GOP mold. They do fit into Their State Conservative/Populist/Republican Rights mold.

It’s a new, freer, more educated, more outspoken political atmosphere. For Virginians, Bob McDonnell is their choice. For Massachusetts, Scott Brown is their choice. Neither of them have to be cookie-cutter replicas of each other. They “fit” their own State Voters even if they don’t fit the Voters of another State.

The person who appeals to voters in every State will be the person who is the best “fit” for the “R” win for the White House in 20-12.

Normally I wouldn’t bother to watch the liar in chief.

But this is so delicious I can hardly wait.

He put off the SOTU so he could brag on passing health care.

Now he can talk only about the failures of the past year, all being President Bush’ fault.

Since when did this guys anti-tax, anti-terrorist , anti-obamacare, pro-American stance become that of the RINO? Are you some sort of strange Glenn Beck styled conspirisist?

It's way, way, way too early for this but on another blog this morning I saw the following:

McDonnell/Brown 2012

Yeah I know it's crazy at this point but these are two relatively young, attractive candidates and they both have bright futures. It will be interesting to watch both.

He did what he had to in Mass, he’s still a RINO. You’re not as smart as you think you are.

[Darnright]

Excellent! An antidote to the embarrassment of having The Eyebrow give the dem response to Dubya’s last SOTU speech.

Classic!

I echo your comments, xs.

[~Vor~]

What you said....

[onyx]

Maybe you’re not as smart as you think you are.

Please tell us the issues Scott Brown successfully ran on in the solid blue state of Massachusetts?

[onyx]

Well stated.

[aft_lizard]

Or maybe you aren’t as smart as you think since I obviously said he was, but don’t let that stop you.
