And McCain is still popular with older veterans, nationally.

She may have a difficult race, made harder since MN-6 is subject to redistricting.

The much more interesting option, for me, would be to have her take on Senator Klobuchar.

If Bachmann attempts either office, it will be an example of why I have been beating a drum about choosing a nominee with coattails. She’ll need help.

I have to agree. I’m a staunch conservative and some things about him just aren’t right. He’s always dead serious to a seeming fault. And he’s served up on a platter for the media to turn into Dan Quayle incarnate.

He is the ONE we were waiting for. GO RICK.

I disagree. Even if he could get the nomination, which I seriously doubt, he wouldn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell against Obama in the general election.

What a great idea.

McCain’s endorsement:
It is hard to understand why the Romney team had to agree to this. Bad day for Romney.

Santorum:
He is the ONE we were waiting for. GO RICK.

I’d like to see her as Speaker of the House. She’d be a huge improvement over Weepin’ John Boehner.

As to McCain’s endorsement, I think it was more for McCain than Romney–maybe John just trying to stay relevant.

Romney already gets the RINO vote, so no gain there.

That alone is good. She spoke out more forcefully than most of the men. Courage is the indispensable virtue. She has it.

To quote a good line from an old movie, she reminded me of my first wife. That doesn’t apply in my case, but I’m familiar with the type.

Wait…how? she has a bad habit of making stuff up. Tardisil, being one of them.
