One of Barack Obama's primary hurdles in getting to the White House is his lack of experience.
So this genius thinks it's a good idea to have a freshman Congressman as his running mate.
Should Virginia’s extremely talented governor Tim Kaine not capture the VEEPstakes, Barack Obama should look several hundred miles to the south for his running mate—specifically, he should recruit Congressman Heath Shuler, a native of Swain Co. and now a resident of Haywood Co. in the picturesque mountains of North Carolina.Get real. Shuler sounds more like a Republican, if anything, and does this guy really expect the Democrats to go anywhere near a pro-life candidate?
A top passer at the University of Tennessee and runner-up for the Heisman Trophy in 1993, Shuler played several seasons for the Washington Redskins, thus also giving him name recognition in Virginia, Maryland, and D.C. area.
Above all, the quarterback-turned-politicians could help Obama and the Democrats overcome the image of Chablis-sipping, Brie-munching elites who appeal to urban denizens, college graduates, and minorities but strain to “connect” with small farmers, coal miners, and blue- and pink-collar voters.
In April the Illinois senator belittled small-town residents when he told a San Francisco audience that “it’s not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”
In contrast to Obama’s condescension and extremely liberal voting record as a state legislator and senator, Shuler opposes abortion, favors gun owners’ rights, and believes that newcomers seeking to become citizens should obey U.S. laws rather than sneaking across the border and throwing themselves into the arms of immigration lawyers.
Heck, they wouldn't even let the pro-life Bob Casey speak at the 1992 convention.
