What's better?

There’s been noted buzz of late on rising GOP star Louisiana Gov Bobby Jindal as a McCain prospective Veep. Certainly Jindal is more than very good, However, I believe there’s some “strategerie” going on here. The “real” beneficiary of the Jindal talk is the other rising GOP star, Alaska Gov Sarah Palin. Palin’s got everything that Jindal has (new/exciting, wildly popular, ethics and spending reformer, core conservative etc.) and more — mother of 5 w/remarkable bio, she’s 8 yrs older than Jindal, Alaska energy issue, and set to garner the disenfranchised female Hillary voter (I don’t believe Dem leaders can dump Obama).

Getting Jindal’s name out first — at Team McCain’s BBQ for instance — sets the stage for the obvious choice, Palin. For example, albeit Rush Limbaugh introduced Palin’s name, and later Jindal’s as good Veep choices, of late Rush has been praising the name of Jindal while on his very same shows discussing at great length the frustrated female Hillary voter and the global warming hysteria/need for energy development, without mentioning Palin’s name as the obvious beneficiary of those two issues. Rush walks a fine line, introducing Palin, yet can’t, at least yet, reiterate much, knowing that his praises may be counter-productive to many a swing, moderate and/or formerly Dem voter (who’s against Obama and switching to McCain). Moreover, while I feel that Palin has more real accomplishment, experience and qualification than Obama (and Hillary combined, albeit w/Obama the bar is pretty low), the only potential argument against Palin is she’s a newbie to the national scene. By having Jindal out there first as a VP prospect “passing” the “experience” and “new to the national scene” test, implicitly passes Palin as well. (For that matter Palin’s got as much if not more experience and accomplishment than Florida Gov Crist who’s only been Gov for 2 yrs — and the media has been touting Crist as a VP prospect.)

That’s my thinking at least.

That sure is a lot of thinking on your part. I think both have their pluses and minuses. They're the two most exciting, however.

Well, I was more than convinced once I saw this Sarah Palin YouTube, WOW! –

I am one of those disenfranchised Hillary voters and Senator McCain has got me hands down if he picks Palin. I will even campaign for him. This lady really impresses me. I actually like her better than Hillary since I am pro-life. (I was willing to vote for Hillary because, unlike most prochoicers, she did put a lot of energy into trying to reduce unwanted pregnancies.) She and her family have a very compelling story, husband is a blue collar guy, son in the military, they have a special needs child, just a real down to earth family that I think has a lot of appeal to those folks Obama says "cling to their guns and religion". I am solidly with republicans on social issues but I lean democrat on health, education, minimum wage, poverty. It's always been a tough call for me. With Palin, McCain would win over a lot of women voters like myself. Hands down I think.

Both are young good republicans. Okey.

But: I'm a hetero. I like Palin.

What can I say? Stop political incorrectness.

Go Mac, get her. You're the thorn, she's the rose.

America will smell fresh like a garden again without trolls.

The hair bun and the glasses keep making me hear Van halen's "Hot for teacher" in my head. Is that wrong?
