Then, last week, Hamas “unendorsed” Obama after he gave a speech to the AIPAC pro-Israel lobby.  Personally I think they realized they had harmed their favorite candidate and are trying to do him a favor.

Not only does he have conservative credentials which might bring many disgruntled conservatives back into McCain’s tent, but he has other factors in his favor. He has youth. He is an American born to parents who migrated legally to America and have made contributions to our society. He has an extensive list of accomplishments at an early age that would, in many voter’s judgment, qualify him to occupy the Oval Office in the event it became necessary.   Check out Piyush "Bobby" Jindal for yourself.
