I'd like to see his Mormon pastor interviewed the way ol' Rev. Wright was. I'd bet there'd be some eye-brow raising because this religion has some way-out ideas. Yeah, we'd all like to think we are not concerned about the religion of our candidates, until we examine the exclusionary beliefs and doctrines.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11195787.post-71285009624448326092008-08-25T20:58:00.000-05:002008-08-25T20:58:00.000-05:00What I found most interesting was your early memor...What I found most interesting was your early memories of politics as a 6 year old. I've always thought I must have been a strange kid for being able to know who Walter Mondale was in '84 (I too, was 6). I also was well aware of President Ronald Reagan. His press conferences often interrupted my favorite shows (like Dukes of Hazzard and Magnum P.I.). When you have the three network channels and all three have a question and answer with Ronald Reagan - it's a long night as a kid. <BR/><BR/>Anyway - your suggestions are interesting. I hadn't heard Kay Bailey Hutchinson's name tossed around until I read your post this morning. Since then, I've heard it tossed around a couple of times. Know something we don't? <BR/><BR/>I think Ridge is already out. I just don't see McCain picking him. The downsides are too numerous IMHO.<BR/><BR/>I'm betting on Romney as well. He could slide right in... and look the part. Besides many other obvious reason. And kudos on pointing out how ridiculous the argument over his Mormon beliefs are. I think it's a non-issue for most Americans. America has elected presidents from many religions. Why should we begin to make it a hot-botton issue now? <BR/><BR/>I should stop talking. Once again, great post.Andrew Weaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01602176450707349990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11195787.post-24044275591579379952008-08-24T21:53:00.000-05:002008-08-24T21:53:00.000-05:00You clearly did not live in MA while the 'Mitten' ...You clearly did not live in MA while the 'Mitten' was (sort of) gov.

Pro-abortion Ridge and Dem-Lieberman were never real considerations, despite relentless media goading. Pawlenty’s lackluster TV performances, coupled with Palin pizzazz, the primacy of oil drilling and the ticked off women/Hillary voters, does now portend a McCain/Palin checkmate on the Dems. This is so albeit the Dems and liberal media dare not mention Palin’s name, that is, everyone but…..<BR/><BR/>And if there’s any question as to Palin being uniquely positioned and able to more than nullify Biden in debate, see the excellent discussion at palinforvp.blogspot.com<BR/><BR/>Team McCain, well done!!!Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04011502155494655727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11195787.post-62373831911948500982008-08-24T20:29:00.000-05:002008-08-24T20:29:00.000-05:00"Call central casting, we need a president" Ha ha..."Call central casting, we need a president" Ha ha.
