Now that McCain is going to be the nominee, people are putting forward their ideas for a running mate. Thompson and Huckabee have been mentioned, of course, as have Duncan Hunter and Michael Steele. The idea of bringing in a bright young protege certainly has some appeal.
How about Bobby Jindal?

ReplyDeleteI've laid out the case for Watts here.
One could only hope. Still, I think McCain can't pick someone who hasn't been vetted already by the mere process of running for a national office, people are already too suspicious of him. With Huckabee or Thompson, the voter knows who he's getting, since most of whatever minor demons they have are already outed, with Jindal, the opposition can drop key bits of information at opportune times "Jindal voted for/against this incredibly key issue!" And that's a battle McCain can't afford right now.
ReplyDeleteOne way or another, he's got to court the hard right pretty deftly over the next six months or he's toast in this election, since independents aren't swarming to him like they did 8 years ago, they're all swarming to Obama.
