 According to the polls, the bounce Miss Piggy gave Mctime was the bounce out of the WH.  The polls, speaking with Mctime supporters who eventually voted for Obama, gave the single most important reason for voting for Obama as Miss Piggy.

 

They may just want to keep her in the forefront for the next time around just in case Obama does a really decent job.  Won't be hard to do better that Dumbya but if he does better than expected, Miss Piggy will once again be run into the slaughter house.  The Repubs really feel they have a future want Jindal and possibly Romney, the long term favorite being Jindal,  but IMO will not chance ruining their reputations by either of them being branded a loser in  '12 any more than they wanted either of them branded as a loser this past election.  I stated from the giddy-up that as long as the Repubs thought they'd LOSE this election, they would NEVER damage the image of their big guns and they'd run a nobody as VP.  Palin was a nobody.  No one I know or heard on the news or interview shows expected Mctime to accept a second term.  They coulnd't afford to have Romney or Jindal on the losing ticket.  MOF Jindal is already on the guest speaker circuit.  Jindal is only 37 years old.  Think about it.  In 2016 he'll be 45 and in 2024 he'll be 53.  They have a 16 year future with him and that begins 8 years from now
