Her take-things-into-her-own-hands approach is just so solid. Of course, her husband needs further national seasoning, so I agree that the right place is the Veep slot.

Fun doesn't necessarily make a good president. Especially without a solid foundation. Huckabee is too fun. Fun doesn’t necessarily make a good president. Especially without a solid foundation.

Huckabee goes on Leno and tells stories and jokes around. He is like a poor man's comedian. Romney goes on Leno and tells a couple funny jokes but then talks about the economy and the campaign. Romney talked about business and issues. A clear contrast between someone who is a good presidential candidate and someone who just wants to be your friend. McCain does a good job as well. He is funny at times but serious as well. He is friendly with the liberal media and liberal politicians. This concerns many conservatives. McCain was a regular on the Daily Show before the writer's strike and received the endorsement of the NY times. Romney doesn’t pass the beer test because he doesn’t drink beer.

I only wish he would win them over to a more conservative vision (which he would articulate). But Americans say that they want leaders who can be bipartisan and put the national interest ahead of any one party ideology. His coziness with the Squire of Chappiquiddick has been troubling to many, however. The "amnesty bill" McCain supported put huge fines on employers who hire illegals. How is that amnesty? I as a soldier and a veteran applaud McCain. Unlike Clinton or any other career civilian politician, I dont think McCain will ever be in a rush to send troops abroad. Certainly not based on anything less than valid actionable intell (ie Mc wont be swayed by an article or op-Ed put out by a think tank).
