Federal laws?

Hardly anything. But Do you really think no one in Louisiana would object to a castration law?

Gruesome Newsom politics.

Would it help to know that my cousin went to school and was the best-of-friends with Mr. Newsom? My mother still refers to him as an anti-christ. I might add that she speaks poorly of Nancy Pelosi, despite her knowing not one damed thing about her.

But yes, where well-meaning illegal immigrants are not hunted down and deported. I'm not opposed to legal immigration; I just think that the whole-sale conclusion drawn against them is absurd. They can't all be murderers or leeches.

Of course there will be some dissenters, especially in a liberal hive like 'Nawlins'. But I'm pretty confident that Louisiana's legislature will rubberstamp it. I don't see many people raising their voice to defend a child rapist, definitely not the lawmakers in that state.

That's all true, but Newsom should still resign.

I take it you won't be voting for him when he runs for the Oval...

I don't think he ever will. And if he does, he'll be a joke candidate like Perot or Nader.

He's actually supposedly interested in running for Governor of California, from what I heard.

Doesn't mean the courts will agree.

Chris Cillizza of washingtonpost.com's Veepstakes "Line"

5. Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal
4. Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney
3. Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman (Independent)
2. Former Pennsylvania Governor and Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge
1. Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty

I think Tim would be the best, if not him, he'll probably run for pres in 4 years.

Mark Halperin of Time Magazine lists the "Head and Heart" picks for McCain.

Head - Fmr. Gov. Mitt Romney (MA)
Heart - Sen. Lindsey Graham (SC), Tom Ridge (PA)
Head/Heart - Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT), Gov. Bobby Jindal (LA)

Bah. I still say he should go with Huckabee.

Traditionalists outnumber secular progressives 3 to 1.

If properly motivated to vote they'll hand McCain the election.

He should pick the Huck.

Why don't you just wait 4 years and then vote for Huck?

In the United States, elections are won in the center. Huckabee is a slap in the face to the center.

Your sig explains it all...

I thought Huckabee made it clear that he doesn't want to. I still say he should pick Jindal.

Right, because Bush won 2004 with the first absolute majority of the popular vote in 16 years because he appealed to the center. 🙄

No, he won because the center was stupid.

That was pretty funny.

Somewhere between your position and Strangelove's position has to be the truth. Either you're right and the evangelicals turned out in massive numbers and won Bush the presidency or Strangelove is most on target with the notion that the the entire center was duped into being scared and thinking Bush was going to pull a Batman and save us single-handedly. If we were talking about 2000 elections, I might say you were right, but for 2004 elections, I would say he was right. Either way, I'd love to see some numbers. Some difinitive, unbiased numbers. Not numbers that come from some reigious website that wants to continue to pat istelf on the back while not realizing they're stirred up every decade or so to mobilize during an election, while at the same time never, ever getting a single damned thing they want; like homosexuals in jail, abortion illegalized, mandatory attenance every week at some southern baptist sunday school class or every child in Jesus camp for the summer and all other religions banned in the United States or no black people on television. And now that they've served their short-term purpose, the Republicans seem to be doing everything they can to sweep the fundies under the rug. Shouldn't that tell you that the majority of the country is in the center and are tired of hearing what they want and how the rest of us should act?

What worked in both of Mr. Bush's elections was that his team was able to get so many people in this country to feel ashamed of their progess in the 90's by turning it into some pact with the devil and guilting us over Bill Clinton getting a blowjob.

Search google video for "The power of nightmares", it basically explains how Republicans (and war time democrats like Roosevelt and Johnson) win elections.
