bench

With Sarah Palin now on the ticket the GOP hasn’t just landed an excellent VP nominee, we’ve added one more contender to our already deep bench of potential ‘12/’16 presidential candidates.  Bobby Jindal tops my personal list along with Tim Pawlenty and now Sarah Palin but a lot of people would add Mitt Romney and Mark Sanford as well.

Who’ve the Democrats got?  Joe Biden (::chortle::), Kathleen Sebelius (female but underwhelming speaker), Janet Napolitano (ditto), Evan Bayh (as if the D’s will nominate a moderate), Bill Richardson (what was that people said about Al Gore, oh right, grew a beard and got fat) and Mark Warner (let’s just say there’s a reason he dropped out this time around).  

I’d take our bench in a second.
