[Rhodes22-list] [Political] Jay Said [Big Al delete, Art pretend not to read]

[Herb Parsons]

You know, if I were running for President of the USA, and I KNEW deep in 
my heart (just as he should have known) that most of the voters on both 
sides of the isle were facing voting for someone other than their real 
choice, when I started looking around, the question I'd ask myself is:

Would people rather have this person than me for President.

If he asked that, it would explain why he made a good choice.

I think if you talked to most Republicans, they'll tell you they'd 
rather have Palin at the top of the ticket.
