Obama will probably face Gov Palin or Jindal. McCain's health problems are
becoming more obvious. Is he ready?

12. Yes, but I was making a small joke about...
Edited on Sun Jun-01-08 03:22 PM by Kutjara
...the misdirected subject in your post. It's written such that "Is he ready" implicitly refers to McCain.

7. There is no way Jindal will be mccain's VP. He isn't the right color for mccain's supporters /nt

15. Shhh, don't tell his supporters. Remember these are the same people from SC
who voted against mccain over bush in the primaries

19. I don't agree with Jindal on most of the issues, however I agree that his ascension to power
is a good thing, because it represents what this country is about, inclusion

My original point is that many of mccain's base are not for inclusion

10. Do you have any references? I'd like to read more...
I'm not agreeing or disputing, I'm just asking. Where can we read about how McCain's health problems are becoming more obvious?

Kick it in the coinpurse?

23. What?
First, thanks for asking. It's meant to be a variation on "Rock the Vote", a slogan first popularized back in 1990, where 'RACK is an abbreviation for Barack.

But is it really that hard to figure out? I didn't expect it to be. I thought maybe it would catch on, but if the meaning isn't as obvious as I had hoped then maybe I should just drop it. What do you think?

25. I honestly was just messing with you.
I am still, unfortunately, obsessed with the movie "Idocracy."

If you have seen it,....

"Ow, My Balls!"

If not, it is just fine.

17. Jindal is too young my bet would be Romney
The Bushies love the Romneys and would try to elevate Mittens if given the chance.

You think our convention would be a mess. Imagine Mittens, Huckabee, and some more fighting over the nomination at their convention saying McCain decides to drop out.

20. Huh?
I thought you were saying Justice Roberts would be the Republican nominee.

You just LOVE coming up with these outrageous scenarios, don't you?

22. Are you talking about Sarah?
We just don't see her leaving Alaska any time soon. If she runs for a national office, I think it will be Lisa Murkowski's seat in 2010. She's got her hands full here now, though, and with an 85% approval rating, why would she want to leave the state?

Incidentally, I've read that she has a higher approval rating among Alaska's Democrats than she does the Republicans. Go figure.

24. McCain;s doctor gave him a clean bill of health
so I don't know where your assertions about his health are coming from.

27. And beside...
I don't want to see Barack Obama win on McCain's age or health issues. He should be perfectly capable of winning on his own greatness.

26. Well, if your prediction that McCain will be replaced is borne out, it will
be the headline of the year for the Pukes.

He certainly sounds and acts like he could use a bottle or two of Jolt cola.

But it still seems unlikely. As pathetic as McCain is, he's probably the best the Pukes cold come up with. My god the entire field of their original 12 or 14 candidates was a macabre line-up of thugs and morons and con men.

CK-John, I am just not seeing Bobby Jindal in the picture. I think Bobby's last stop in politics is the governor's seat he more or less had handed to him by a storm.
