Herb,

The Grand Slam will be the Palin/Jindal12 ticket!  Sarah will blow-up
the GOP as we know it, just as she did in Alaska.  The donkeys will
reclaim their party from the 'Deaniacs', and maybe we'll have a Palin
v Bayh contest or Jindal v Hillary ticket, or, something good either
way.  What we face now is a watershed event. One thing at a time.

BTW, I like my adopted congressman from Gulf Coast Mississippi, Gene
Taylor (D).

Brad
