This moron is splitting hairs while Obama is loading the unborn into dumpsters with a pitchfork.
It’s going to be Bobby Jindal.
1) He’s a minority, so it mutes the lefts “lily white Republicans” battle cry.
2) He’s pro-life and a Christian (raised Hindu, he converted to Christianity as a young adult).
3) He’s universally admired for his abilities (by both sides of the aisle). There’s not doubt he could handle the presidency if required. Putting Biden next to him on a stage would be like putting a Tonka bulldozer next to Caterpillar bulldozer.
4) He has government LA as a conservative.
5) While Asian-Indian Americans only account for 1% of the population, they are still up for grabs. If it ends up being a tight election that 1% could make a big difference. Also, they would likely become very active foot-soldiers.
BTW, when it comes to the natural born citizen question...the Supreme court just did pretzel twists to ensure ObamaCare was Constitutional. Does anyone really think they’re going to say someone that was born on US soil isn’t a natural born citizen? Not a chance; not a snowball’s chance in Hades; not in this day and age.
It doesn’t matter what YOU think, it only matters what the court does. And, the Supreme court won’t go there; I doubt they would even agree to hear the case in the fist place.
I think Condie is a brilliant choice. I honestly think Obama would lose if Romney chose Condie. Who cares about the social conservatives. Even Democrats would vote for Condie to make up the loss.
Much a-doo-doo about nothing. About a dude to attend foreign funerals. Choose me, I’m the best when it comes to doing nothing!
You're on the wrong site, bub. You must be looking for truebluerhino.com.
So you've been a member for all of 4 days. With posts like these, I smell zot in your near future.
LOL!
Good one.
Rice and first lady Laura Bush spoke for the administration at the Oct. 10 [2006] swearing-in at the State Department where Dybul was accompanied by his male partner, Jason Claire.
Rice, during her comments, referred to the presence of Claires mother and called her Dybuls mother-in-law.
Rice's approving 'gay' remarks rankle GOP base

The only negative against Jindal was that a speech he gave (as a rebuttal to the State of the Union) got panned as boring (I didn't sse it myself).
Condi is someone who looks good on paper but the reality doesn't live up to the billing.
Reminds me of something I read recently of a man in a pastry shop admiring a beautifully-decorated cake. The baker was an honest man and told him, "I'm afraid, sir, it won't be much for eating."
Look how the RNC's grand Michael Steele strategy worked out. Condi is a talented and brilliant woman who did a good job in the context of the Dubya administration. That said, pandering to skin color is not a good look for Republicans.
For that speech he was told not to speak in his usual style, but rather slow it down and be deliberate. The result: it bombed.
Jindal has a quick, almost Brooklyn style of speaking (some parts of LA have accents and speaking styles that are indistinguishable from Brooklyn, NY—it’s kind of amazing/weird). He is a good public speaker, but not in the conventional sense.
The fact that he is soooo out there recently (making speeches, on TV & radio) representing Romney recently makes me think that the Romney campaign is behind it. They’re getting the national press accustomed to him, so when he’s announced as the VP pick there won’t be any of this he speaks funny or looks funny stuff.
I don’t see any other potential VP candidate making the rounds like Jindal has been. Certainly not as an outright Romney surrogate the way Jindal has been doing. That leads me to think it’s all but a done deal.
Allen West!
No, he’s not. He clicked something wrong.
It's refreshing to hear a writer from the NR openly state the obvious. Dubya is toxic to the GOP and for good reason.
Now you may have something there. He has strong character, something Romney might be concerned about, but West is also disciplined and will do his part in a team environment.
There would be less excuse for blacks to not vote Republican, and West may pull a few more .mil votes. I did a little looking at his record on abortion and same sex marriage and I believe I could manage to vote for such a ticket, if Romney stated or implied that West would be allowed to work toward making abortion illegal (doubt that happening though).
Certainly a Romney/West ticket has many more possibilities than a Romney/Rice or an unknown like the one guy who has been mentioned in the news recently.
One other positive, we sorely need someone with military experience in a top level executive position, now that Obama has set the Middle East on fire.
