Out of all the "possibles," we got stuck with the second-worst possible candidate.

I wasn't going to be terribly exited about this election no matter who won the candidacy, but did we have to reach all the way into the bottom of the barrel? Talk about holding your nose to pull the lever.

The only "consolation" right now is that no matter who the Democratic party picks, it's going to have an even worse candidate than ours.

I can't say I'm overly excited about this election, either.

I am really tired of the gult trips being laid out to garner support for our candidate. Today they have started the trip of, "don't do that to our troops."

Where were all these radio pundits months ago when true conservatives were running and couldn't get mention in the media?

My main focus will be on local and state elections as they come up to try to get more conservatives in office and hopefully a real conservative in 2012.

Navy, keep an eye on the newly elected governor of Louisiana, Bobby Jindal, for the next few years. He's brown-skinned,(Indian immigrant parents), conservative, smart, and honest.

I'd forgotten about him, but you're right about that. I read a profile of him somewhere and he really seems like a straight-shooter.

Of course, that could be as much handicap as asset when half of our country consists of people who don't recognize or appreciate genuine straight talk. (Apparently, though, the same people will suck it right up if you take an ordinary serving of political double-talk, polish it up and call it "straight talk.")

A few politicians seem to escape the undue influence of "handlers" and advisers and remain true to themselves. Then the question is, does someone with clear principles and clean ethics have the stomach for the process that elects a president?

I am impressed with Jindal. Rush Limbaugh sees him as the next Ronald Reagan:
