Mitt's loving it

It takes a kiwi to say what many Republicans, especially in Utah, are thinking: The U. S. economy is tanking and John "the fundamentals of our economy are strong" McCain's picks a hockey mom to advise him?

Nicola Lamb in the New Zealand Herald says the unutterable:
Last week as McCain flailed about on the economy, a running mate who was a businessman, Olympics entrepreneur, former governor of a state of 6.4 million and Washington 'outsider' might have made more political sense than a 'hockey mom' governor from Alaska.

McCain, who has admitted that economics is not his strong suit, spurned his chance to pick a number two who could have talked credibly about measures to aid the ailing economy.


That potential number two she alludes to is, of course, Mitt Romney.

Very true but republicans like hockey moms much more than they like mormons.

The next four years are going to be rough no matter who is President. Mitt's better off running in 2012 against Obama.

"McCain picks a hockey mom to advise him?"

No, you idiot. He picked a state governor to advise him.

Stop referring to Palin based on accomplishments outside of politics.

That's like saying "Obama picks a stuttering athlete to advise him?"

You are a moron, Glen.
