the age old question of names has been covered on this site far too much. the day when a desi comes into political life with the name like Chip or Mitt then i think that debate can be reopened.

Not sure where to share but a very serious issue in Norway – an Indian couple got their children taken away because they feed them with their hands, and co-sleep. “The parents have been told that they can only see their children twice a year, for an hour during each visit until the kids turn 18 when they will no longer be bound by the current restrictions under current Norwegian law.”

Nimrata Nikki Randhawa Haley does not seem to keen on associating herself with things not white. She goes by Nikki Haley which sounds more white, she earlier checked off her race as white on a racial census, she converted from Sikhism to Christianity, she married a white guy. All the women she said she admires are white. Too many actions all together does not paint Nimrata Nikki Randhawa Haley as a woman who is happy to be non-white, but someone very much doing all she can to whiten herself up. So I doubt any one or anything non-white is going to make the cut.

She's got a great shot at being VP because she's Palinesque.

I wonder if Haley would consider Indira Gandhi as one of her role-models.

Could it be that (forgive me) she just doesn’t give a damn about her reputation?

if mitt romney gets the nomination i think she has a good shot at VP.

1) woman 2) southerner 3) non-white 4) a less patrician background

that's the "balance" a ticket traditionally needs.
