Palin for vice president, the second time around

AMES, Iowa (The Adobo Chronicles) – If you are one of those people who wondered why Sarah Palin would endorse someone like Donald Trump to become president of the United States, wonder no more.

It’s the economy, stupid.

You invest so that you gain.

Lo and behold, Palin scored a huge return on her investment in less than 24 hours after she endorsed Trump at a campaign rally in Iowa.

Today, the Republican presidential frontrunner returned the favor and endorsed Palin to become the next vice president.

“She may have failed the first time,” Trump said, “but times are a-changing. American voters are now more open to electing stupid people like myself. If I win the nomination, I know whom I will pick for my vice presidential running mate. A Trump-Palin team would be unbeatable!”

Birds of the same feather tend to flock together. And they dream big together, too.

RALPH NADER CONFLICTED OVER POTENTIAL RUNNING MATE IN 2016 U.S. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS

Winsted, Connecticut (The Adobo Chronicles) – Ralph Nader is a five-time candidate for president of the United States. In 1992, he was a write-in candidate in the New Hampshire Democratic primary. In 1996 and 2000, he was the nominee for the Green Party. In 2004 and 2008, he ran as an independent candidate.

Now, Nader, 80, is ready to be the standard bearer for the Tea Party and this is making the Republican Party stalwarts nervous about their chances of securing the presidency in 2016.

That Nader is running again, or that he has embraced the Tea Party, is not the big news. Rather, it is the fact that the political activist, author, lecturer and attorney is very conflicted about whom he will choose as his vice presidential running mate. He has narrowed down his choices to three — all women: former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, Minnesota Representative Michele Bachmann and Arizona Governor Jan Brewer.

In an exclusive interview with The Adobo Chronicles, Nader said that having a woman as his running mate is crucial, given that the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee is Hillary Clinton. “We need to ensure that we have the support of women voters,” he said.

Explaining his conflicted mind, Nader added that “all three women are recognized leaders and have the political experience on both the state and national levels. I am very impressed with their bold and intelligent stance on issues important to the voters — from immigration, to health care, to gay rights. They are all model soccer moms. Any of the three would be a darling of the religious and conservative right as well as the sparsely-populated states in the south and midwest.”

“In terms of media appeal, they represent the spectrum of endearing personae. They are all great public speakers and it’s hard to choose among Palin’s high-pitch tone to Brewer’s baritone voice to Bachmann’s nasal sound. It all boils down to who is the most telegenic of the three,” Nadal said with a wink in his eye.

Nader is expected to announce his decision by the fall this year. “The early bird catches the worm,” he joked. It was not clear which of the three women he was referring to when he made the joke.

ERIC CANTOR WANTS VIRGINIA PRIMARY ELECTION RESULTS VOIDED

June 11, 2014 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

Richmond, Virginia (The Adobo Chronicles) – It was the most devastating primary loss and upset in recent memory when Republican House Majority Leader Eric Cantor lost the election primary in the 7th District of Virginia to Tea Party-backed candidate David Brat. The news sent shock waves to the nation’s capital as well as to Republicans all over the country.

This morning, in a desperate attempt to save his political career, Cantor asked the Virginia State Board of Elections to nullify the primary results in which he lost the contest to Brat by about 36,000 votes. In filing his petition, Cantor said that last night’s election results do not truly reflect the will of the people, citing that in 2012, he won the general election with more than 220,000 votes.

“I do not believe that the vast majority of Republicans in my district dislike me,” Cantor said. “The numbers merely show that many Republican voters stayed home and failed to vote in the primary elections,” he claimed.

In his petition, Cantor asked the Board of Elections to conduct a new primary election requiring all Republican registered voters to cast their ballot. “Only then will we truly see the will of the majority of Virginia voters,” he said. He also suggested that the Board reconsider Brat’s candidacy since the Tea Party is not really an official political party. “Any political party should first register as such before being allowed to field a candidate in an election,” the visibly upset Cantor concluded.
