You can read about it HERE, but it looks like the second Republican debate could be much more interesting than the first. It seems that FOX News (the host network for the May 15 debate in S.C.) has a hand in deciding who gets to come, and they are laying [...]

Why not pick Zell Miller as a VP for a Republican Ticket? A Conservative Republican like Romney, paired with Miller for VP would be a very attractive unity ticket.

Al-Qaeda is Not Our Only Threat
