Yes, Sarah Palin. She was my pick for VP, but I feared her first term Governor status would eliminate her this cycle.
Who is Sarah Palin? Jonathan Martin gives a glimpse…
Palin is a strong conservative, opposing abortion rights and enjoying a life membership in the NRA.
She also has a compelling personal story, having given birth in April to a son, her fifth child, who has Down syndrome. Another son is in the Army and is to deploy to Iraq next month.
Politically, Palin would underline McCain’s reform message and offer him a running mate who could not be, in more ways than one, further from the Beltway.
Drudge has a link up saying MAG CLAIMS: CHENEY EXPECTED TO RETIRE AFTER MIDTERM ELECTIONS…
Vice President Dick Cheney is expected to retire within a year.
Senior GOP sources envision the retirement of Mr. Cheney in 2007, months after the congressional elections. The sources said Mr. Cheney would be persuaded to step down as he becomes an increasing political liability to President Bush.
The sources reported a growing rift between the president and vice president as well as their staffs. They cited Mr. Cheney’s failure to immediately tell the president of the accidental shooting of the vice president’s hunting colleague earlier this month. The White House didn’t learn of the incident until 18 hours later.
I think talk of Cheney’s retirement should have been in motion long ago. Retire and enjoy a lot more hunting!
