<p>The drudge report just came out and said McCain will make his Veep nom tis week. Speculations is Bobby Jindal or Rudy. I personally doubt Rudy since there is speculation he wants to run for Gov. </p>
<p>This will now be interesting since Jindal is only 37 and his resume is just as thin as Obamas. </p>
<p>I bet he will also announce that Lieberman will be DOD or DOS, and Romney will be somehow in his cabinet…Treasury?</p>
<p>I doubt this will actually happen. It seems to early.</p>
<p>I hope it’s Rudy.</p>
<p>Since I’m a Dem.</p>
<p>How about Charlie Crist?</p>
<p>I’m glad he was listening when I suggested in another thread that announcing his VP would be a great way to take some of the steam out of Obama’s Mideast trip. LOL.</p>
<p>^^ Would you please tell him to reconsider the immigration issue?</p>
<p>I’ll see what I can do. ;)</p>
<p>Wait! I agree w/him on immigration!</p>
<p>If Bobby Jindal is the VP choice, this article by him, about an exorcism he performed, will be of interest to many:</p>

</p>
<p>Ahhhhhhh! This is not a good year for me.I don’t think it’s going to be Jindal or Giuliani.</p>
<p>This is very impressive </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Marite, Do you know where I can get the whole article without paying?</p>
<p>Does anyone wonder if there is someone on the either candidates campaign that uses sites like this as informal polling?</p>
<p>Think about it, it would be a cheap way to poll the country!</p>
<p>No I am not on either candidates campaign, I just thought about it as I read through the posts…wouldn’t that be a hoot!</p>
<p>BTW I believe McCain will chose Crist. It makes sense for electoral reasons. It would just be too hard for McCain to defend the lack of Jindals experience when he has attacked Obama all this time</p>
<p>I think he will, too. Having the governor of Florida on his ticket would be too perfect for him.</p>
<p>Tega: I did read the entire article some time ago (without paying) but I can’t remember how I got to it. I know it was not through this direct link. Maybe if you googled?</p>
<p>Jindal has also signed into law an education bill that allows the teaching of creationism; it’s making some people nervous. The interesting thing is that he was a biology major and once considered a career in medicine.</p>
<p>Is it just me? That story gave me the creeps.</p>
<p>I actually think it’s kind of interesting that people think the Republicans would seriously consider selecting Charlie Crist as the VP candidate, given just how many “stories” there have been about him, for just how many years. Do a google search for Charlie Crist and “gay,” and you’ll find 385,000 results. Or look at this one article from a couple of years ago, as a single example: [Charlie</a> Crist Is NOT Gay, page 1 - News - Broward-Palm Beach New Times - Broward-Palm Beach New Times](<a href=“http://www.browardpalmbeach.com/2006-10-19/news/charlie-crist-is-not-gay/]Charlie”>http://www.browardpalmbeach.com/2006-10-19/news/charlie-crist-is-not-gay/).</p>
<p>Do I think it’s true, based on what I’ve heard from people “off the record”? Probably. Do I care whether it’s true or not? No. Do I think it’s slanderous to bring it up? Absolutely not – I don’t think being gay is a bad thing. Do I really believe the Republicans would risk someone coming up with a “smoking gun,” given how many people whose votes they’re seeking consider gay people to be pretty much spawn of the devil? No.</p>

[Floridas</a> Governor, Charlie Crist, Gets Married after a Nine-Month Relation](<a href=“http://www.enews20.com/news_Floridas_Governor_Charlie_Crist_Gets_Married_after_a_Nine_Month_Relation_09099.html]Floridas”>http://www.enews20.com/news_Floridas_Governor_Charlie_Crist_Gets_Married_after_a_Nine_Month_Relation_09099.html)</p>
<p>Getting married for the second time confirms that Crist is gay.</p>
<p>I guess you should not tell Carol Rome he is gay!</p>
<p>Also let me get this right the accusations came from another candidate for governor. That the media spent tons of money and couldn’t prove it…I am sure that McGreevy from NJ wished he had the same fortune as Crist!</p>
<p>As I said, I really don’t care whether it’s true or not. But the rumors were hardly limited to one source. They’ve been around forever. And marrying a woman after 30 years of being single is hardly evidence that someone never had sexual relations with men. Don’t be absurd.</p>
<p>By the way, what sort of “proof” do you think would be satisfactory, short of photographs or a confession? There have certainly been enough men claiming that they had sex with him.</p>
<p>My point was simple: it doesn’t really matter if it’s true or not. I’m not saying he <em>is</em> gay or bisexual. What I’m saying is that it surprises me that the Republicans would seriously consider nominating someone for VP about whom such an issue has even been raised – particularly given the problems McCain has had, at least to date, energizing the “religious right.”</p>
<p>If they do select him, I guess they’re banking on the assumption of a lot of people (including razorsharp, apparently) that if someone’s married, that means they must be 100% heterosexual. Unless they’re a Democrat. Or Larry Craig.</p>
<p>I think Crist is gay, also, and I couldn’t possibly care less. I support gay marriage wholeheartedly. I can’t see him being VP, really I can’t. Because I think he’s gay.</p>
<p>I wish a politician’s sexuality didn’t matter.</p>
