#2 Sarah "Drill ANWR" Palin? As McCain's VP?

Nah.

SHe's not ready yet.

Jindal-Palin 2012 as McCain retires after one turn.

#3 The little girl who grew up on the "nowhere" side of the "Bridge to Nowhere",
now running for V.P.?

Only in America! I love it!

#4 If Hawaii gets a candidate, then so does Alaska. It's in the Constitution somewhere.

#5 LOL, Sea. I think it's in Article VII.

OldSpook: if McCain picks her, in 2012 it's Palin/Jindal. I like that ticket in either order.

Ok, sorry. Going to my room now.

#8 I'm with Dr. Steve and 'Spook on the Palin-Jindal (or is it Jindal-Palin?) thing.

Right now, I think Bobby Jindal is desperately needed in Louisiana, and I'd hate to pull him out of there before the cleanup is done. Also, the Hillary! feminists who think their girl got gypped by the male-chauvinist-pig Dem establishment might be just that much more likely to vote McCain if he has a woman running mate--especially if Obama picks a standard-issue Mk.1 Mod.0 liberal white guy as his running mate.

#9 Governor Palin needs a new hairstyle, though. That one is a little too high school prom up-do. Contact lenses, too -- glasses are more fashion statement than mark of intelligence these days. Otherwise, love the photo surrounded by the troops.

One of our objections to Candidate Obama is his lack of experience. Governor Jindal only just was sworn into office; give him time to learn the lessons of the office before moving him to a bigger arena.

#10 As an Alaskan...I don't think she is ready. Maybe 4 years from now...but not now.

The updo has its advantages. And I kinda like the glasses . . . .

#12 I don't care what she looks like as long as she can make good, sound decisions.

#13 Let it be noted for the record that aside from a couple of drill double entendres (well maybe single) the first appearance comment was from a woman. And in that picture she looks to me like someone who could mean business. Nice firm jaw. And keep the glasses. They mean you aren't into cosmetic falsification BS like baldy Biden.

#14 I didn't mean it to be catty, Nimble Spemble. I don't doubt her competence -- Alaskans tend to be sticklers for that, something to do with all freezing to death if one screws up, I believe -- but when Governor Palin comes to the South Forty-nine she needs to look the part as well be it.
