I'm hoping for Fred...they used to be buddies...he is a policy wonk and a TV star as well as being a real conservative. Plus...he is lazy enough for the VP job!

jindal would be an interesting pick for the ethnicity issue alone---an indian/ American on the rep. ticket? a former hindu who converted to catholicism? real first name is Piyush. that will go over with the repub base, right?
hey the country has a real battle aheadfor pres. the dems will add sets in both houses, so even if mccain wins he has a long 4 years ahead of him. as does the country of course.

I believe most of the Rep. party voters and truly Independent voters care less about race or ethnicity than the dem. party member or leaning voter - especially the tripe I have read - and since reading to which I will no likely return (the vine on msn or newsweek). Most thoughtful -my observation-people do not have concerns about the color of one's skin or ethnicity as a qualifier or a disqualifier. Now there are some that believe it the reason for all things relative. Gen. Powell would most likely garner a great deal of support is he was a canidate for office and not because of his heredity.
Probably one of the many interesting things about Jindal is he has actually worked for a living and has realistic expectations and direction based on a through survey of the situations with which he deals and the solutions he has determined to handle those problems.
BO on the other hand has some fantastic, idealistic, naive speach writers who unfortunately cannot answer the questions tossed at their canidate in an open forum.
