Palin is a poor choice for America's women. - 16 years ago
If Sarah Palin is such an environmentalist why is she so irresponsible about managing her own pregnancies? She has had way too many children for this overcrowded world. Let's hope that she gets herself sterilized before she starts an epidemic among our sexually active young!
McCain has some weaknesses that Romney fixes as VP:
• McCain’s having trouble raising money - Romney raised lots of money (even more than McCain) and has lots of money.
• McCain’s weak on the economy - Romney’s fantastic. Romney’s a private-sector superstar who successfully counters Obama’s populism with free market solutions to people’s everyday problems.
• McCain lost big time to Romney in 5 of 10 states with less than 5% margin of victory for Bush in ‘04: IA, NV, MI, MN & CO
• McCain’s been in Congress (lowest approval ratings in history) for 30 yrs. Romney’s been wildly successful outside the belt-way his whole life.
• In Florida alone, 600,000 took a hard look at McCain & voted for Romney - those votes could be crucial in a general election. Bush won FL by less than 1000 in 2000.
Romney for VP over Jindal, Crist, Palin & Pawlenty because:
• Romney has the judgment, character and experience to be a better President now - the others are a few years away.
• Romney raised over $100 million across the country from California to Utah to Texas - they haven’t.
• Romney had great success managing large companies, the International Olympics and Governor of the 13th largest state - the other candidates have been Governor, that’s it.
• Romney has experience running a strong, organized national campaign - they have experience running a one-state campaign.
• Romney has tens of millions of supporters across the nation - they don’t.
• Romney can help deliver IA, MI, MN, ME, CO, NV, UT & probably NH - they deliver one state each
• Romney’s great success in the private sector makes him the perfect VP to help McCain help America win the global economy (having both a Harvard MBA & Law degree doesn't hurt either).
Romney for VP over Huckabee because:
• If a chair dropped during one of his speeches, Romney would never say anything as stupid as: “That was Barack Obama...somebody aimed a gun at him and he dove for the floor”.
• Had Romney been selfish enough to stay in the race, Romney would have won three times the votes, delegates & states Huckabee ended up with.
• The few states Huckabee brings to the ticket will be GOP anyway.
• Although Romney graciously left the race early, he raised 6 times more money.
• Huckabee plays Clinton-style politics - such as running an ad saying he’s the "Christian leader" in evangelical Iowa and pulling the ad in NH - did Huckabee convert over New Jersey?
The only knocks on Romney are that he’s another North East liberal Republican and he lacks foreign policy experience. Romney is actually very conservative, born and raised in the Upper Midwest (Michigan) but, like millions of others, he moved for college and only later did he have to compromise to get elected and govern in the bluest of blue states - Massachusetts.
We should celebrate blue-state conservatives, not bash them over the head if they run for national office.
Regarding Foreign Policy experience, most of our greatest Presidents, and most of the other V.P. candidates, lack foreign policy experience. At least Romney has some experience with foreign leaders during his global business career and as International Olympics CEO. The alternative is to get a VP candidate out of the US Senate, now experiencing record low approval ratings.
WE GOPers are in real trouble if first term
govs are on the short list for VP of the USA.
Give us a break. Palin and/or Bobby Jindal may be the
future of the Repubs but note the word "future."

And Palin is HAWT!
Mike - 16 years ago
Jindal is needed NOW where he is and he needs more seasoning.
The other candidates listed could not even make a close race of the primary.
Palin has shown courage and integrity. She resigned her post when she became aware of ethical lapses of a peer Republican and when the law allowed her to speak out she did. This behavior is unheard of in many other politicians.
She has demonstrated the ability to reach and gain the approval of a large majority of citizens in her state.
She has defeated a Democrat and a sitting Republican Governor.
There is more. Check her out.
