All gulf coast states now have repug governors/The McSame Gambit:

[trof]

Anybody else notice that?
Poor Kathleen Blanco had the misfortune to be the only gulf coast Dem governor during Katrina.
And the Bush** admin did everything they could to undercut her and make her look bad.

BUT NOW...Bobby Jindal is gov.
A loyal repug.
You can bet your bippy that the Bushies will do everything they can to make THIS effort the showcase of what a hurricane prep and recovery should look like.

This is my :tinfoilhat: scenario of what happens next.
Palin steps down.
In all good conscience, now that she's really had time to think it over, she just can't take time away from her family, and especially an infant with Down's Syndrome, to devote the necessary effort required for a grueling campaign schedule.
Let alone the time required and heavy responsibilities that would be hers when they win and she has to take office.
"I've prayed about it, and I just deeply believe that my family comes first."
:sarcasm:

Following that, Bobby Jindal, The Hero of Hurricane Gustav, graciously volunteers to step into the breach.
McSame expresses his disappointment that Palin will drop out.
But he fully understands and approves of her decision.
He welcomes Jindal to the Straight Talk Express.

So McBush counters Obama's multiracial background and appeal to voters with his very own NQW* guy.
Double :sarcasm:
*Not Quite White

1. I don't think this will happen- Palin is as ambitious as they come.
