For those who have been waiting for an answer, he was just on AM 1280 in Minnesota and was asked about her. He said it was a "shrewd" pick on McCain's part, and that she seemed like a good person who he hoped would help steer McCain in the right direction on limiting government and making it less invasive in people's lives. But he also said that you shouldn't "hold your breath" because McCain probably isn't going to be influenced like Bush was with Cheney.

He then went on to say he thinks people should vote for someone like Barr or Baldwin, rather then try and vote for the lesser of two evils, though he doesn't seem to have plans to endorse either (still.)
 
Yes, Palin will defintely have some sway over McCain.

McCain really likes former beauty contestant winners and would do just about anything for them. :D

Good boy!
 
I'm voting for Barr, and hoping Palin runs in 2012, and get Ron or Rand Paul as VP

I think this is a realistic scenario

Thanks for the post. I have been trying very hard not to have a knee-jerk reaction like some others here and elsewhere on the web, though so far I've seen Palin favorably. Nice to know Dr. Paul does too.

Still uncertain how (or if) I'll vote in November, but this is good info.

Palin is far more likely to run top-of-the-ticket in 2012 if she becomes VP this year. And far more likely to win in that case.
 
Bob Barr is an opportunistic sympathetic NeoCon.. And True Libertarians do not support him.. He is pro-war lets not forget that... Sarah Palin is no NeoCon but she may just be guilty by association.

I agree with you about Bob Barr. I would never vote for him.

However, the fact is that Bob Barr (even though I don't believe he means it) is at least "somewhat" talking against the War on Drugs, the IRS, big government, and the War on Iraq.

Sarah Palin has remained silent.

I agree with everything he said.
