Sorry for the light posting, but the Annual Meeting has been so busy, I haven’t had time. I wasn’t really all that happy with the McCain speech. I think he could have, well, really should have, hit this one out of the park. McCain has a real problem with the base, and coming to speak to the NRA regulars, the die-hards, and saying you want to shut down private sales, is not a great way to endear yourself to them. That’s not to say I’m not voting for him, because let’s face it, the choice is between getting hit by a bike, or getting hit by a dump truck. I’ll join Kevin Baker’s McCain ‘08 Campaign.
We heard Bobby Jindal, Governor of Louisiana, speak at the NRA Banquet last night, and let me tell you, that guy is impressive. Frank talk about what happened in New Orleans in the aftermath of Katrina, and the efforts he took in Congress to make sure it never happened again. Why couldn’t we have him instead of McCain? Either way, Jindal probably needs to get an already impressive record in Louisiana further cemented, but if your political reputation can be that you cleaned up Louisiana, there’s no limit to what you can accomplish, including, probably, running for President. If Jindall is what we have to look forward to in the Republican Party, I feel pretty good about the future. Election ‘08 is going to be rough, but there is hope for the future.
