“You want generational change? You can get it with McCain-Jindal — without risking a liberal and inexperienced Obama as commander in chief.”

Wouldn’t this ticket be risking Jindal as CinC, owing to McCain’s advanced ~~experience~~ age? BTW, I hope someone points out to pieface that he doesn’t have a commander in chief because his cowardly ass is not and has not been in uniform.

McCain-Jindal 2008: When you average them, the ticket is only 67 years old.

Back when it became clear McLame was going to get the gooper nod, I was waiting for a push by the wingers to move the general election up to April or May.

Clearly, the window of opportunity has closed.

Yeah, Bill. Hillary and Obama are in a cage match because each wants the glory of losing to John McCain. Maybe, though, it’s really because each (and they’re both young enough to wait) figures that they’re not going to be a candidate for the 2012 nomination because a Democratic president will almost certainly be running for re-election then.

Christ. I love my dad, but he was a mere Alabama cracker FAA radar technician with a high-school education. Why couldn’t I have been born to a rich magazine publisher with his nose stuck in the ass of the Establishment?

If Obama were polling 100% to McCain’s 0%, Kristol would still find a way to make it “good for the GOP.” And you know if it’s in the NYT, it’s gotta be true.

In a New York Times/CBS News poll in late February, Obama was defeating John McCain 50 to 38. Two months later, the Times/CBS poll had McCain and Obama tied. The poll that came out yesterday showed Obama reopening a lead over McCain — but clearly over this period a vulnerability for Obama was exposed.

Let’s see, according to the new NYT/CBS poll it’s Obama 51% to McCain’s 40%.

Kristol appears to hanging onto that 1% improvement like a drowning man on a piece of wood.

During Obama’s recent “rough patch,” McCain was a virtual gaffe-a-matic, stumbling and stuttering thru idiotic and/or self-conflicted statements about “Mission Accomplished,” the Minnesota bridge disaster, the rationale for US intervention in the Middle East — plus the ill-received policy proposals on health care and gas prices.

Of course, in the neo-con world view there’s no success like failure, so Maverick John ™ has a fighting chance as long as he remains stalwart in the Stoopid.

Bobby Jindal supported the Klan loving republican in Saturday’s runoff race for the open house seat in LA. I am NOT worried about his influence.

Jindal is the Republican Obama: young, energetic, minority, and has not been in the office long enough that he is a lock to be considered for the next rung. Don’t know if he can speak.
