The genius Bobby Jindal, out to reform Louisiana as Palin reformed Alaska, awaits the 2012 VP nomination with Sarah at the top of the ticket, if McCain wins this election. Suddenly the Republicans have a claim on being the vote for change.
McCain can't say this out loud, but I feel quite sure that he has every intention to run for reelection if he wins & his health holds out, and looking at his mother, I should say his chances are excellent. |
