May 22, 200818 yr Said in something I read today that McCain was hosting 3 potential VP's at his ranch/home this weekend. Mitt Romney Charlie Crist, governor Florida And governor of Louisiana, I forget his name. Romney would strengthen McCain's weakness in the economy but may further alienate the evangelicals. Crist is a key state. Not sure on why the Louisiana guy is in there.
May 22, 200818 yr I wonder if he would entertain the possibly of Liebermann? I don't necessarily think he should.

Jindal opposes using taxpayer money to fund embryonic stem cell research. He supports the teaching of intelligent design in public schools.
May 22, 200818 yr Author Piyush "Bobby" Jindal Thanks. Know anything about him and why he would be considered?
May 22, 200818 yr Thanks. Know anything about him and why he would be considered? He is a really young guy and of Indian decent... I believe only 37 years old. Although I have not researched a lot into him, both times I heard him speak, he was really engaging.
May 22, 200818 yr Thanks. Know anything about him and why he would be considered? "He has support in the conservative base of the Republican Party and his youth offsets McCain's maturity."
May 22, 200818 yr Thanks. Know anything about him and why he would be considered? Diversity Conservative credentials(Conservatives really like him) Youth Counters Dems gender/minority"firsts" Leadership in post-Katrina Been referred to by some as the next Ronald Reagan and the future of the GOP
May 22, 200818 yr McCain may pull some strings of old friendships and get Hillary to run with him... haha
May 23, 200818 yr Author Diversity Conservative credentials(Conservatives really like him) Youth Counters Dems gender/minority"firsts" Leadership in post-Katrina Been referred to by some as the next Ronald Reagan and the future of the GOP Is he a minority?
May 23, 200818 yr Is he a minority? Yes. Parent are Punjabi-Indian immigrants who moved to Louisiana in the 1970s. He was born a couple years later. I think he's only 36 or 37.
May 23, 200818 yr How about C. Rice? She would definitely counter Obama if he gets the nomination. I'm guessing McCain will not want any of the old guard on his new staff. Condy might be a fine choice, but not this close to the Bush administration.
May 23, 200818 yr Is he a minority? Don't quote me on this , LBBC, but I seem to remember reading that he is Indian.(Indian-American not American Indian). If we restrict the general populace to just those people that own /run convenience stores, Dunkin' Donuts, or motels, I'd say he is not a minority;otherwise, I guess he'd be considered a minority.
May 23, 200818 yr How about C. Rice? She would definitely counter Obama if he gets the nomination. In the eyes of most of your "Urban Obama Vote Centers"... C. Rice would NOT counter Obama because of the the little "R." that appears in front of her name.:sssh:
May 23, 200818 yr How about C. Rice? She would definitely counter Obama if he gets the nomination. I don't think it will happen. I just got back from a conference at which some senior DC political insiders gave us a confidential briefing on a lot of matters (we heard from both Ds and Rs). As they asked us to keep their comments confidential I won't get into detail, but I think I can safely state that its highly unlikely that McCain will choose any one that is or was in the Bush administration (sorry Mr. Portman and Condi) and it is highly unlikely that Obama will choose Hillary. Who knows, these guys might have been nothing but hot air, but they sure sounded like they knew what they were talking about.
