And a hardy welcome to the current flava-tha-week: U.S. Sen. Rob Portman from Ohio. He was previously G.W. Bush's Dir. OMB, so there's that.
C. Christie
Only really attractive to political wonks.
As exciting as a mashed potato sandwich on white Wonder Bread.
Dumb and dumberer.
Two mormons would be a hard sell and would get the poo-flinging conspiracy theorists too exercised.
He has made too big an assof himself this time around, and would be better off letting some of it blow over so that he has a chance next cycle should Mittens blow it really badly.
Pandering to the Dominionists, but it might work, sort of, to make up for the mormon at the top of the ticket.
Who? (Well, at least he hasn't made a mud magnet of himself, so far.)
Even Boehner seems to treat him like a loose cannon at times.
Shot himself in the foot building those sandpiles on the Gulf Coast.
Too many cooties.
Who?
Not really offensive to most people, but she is not going to draw the femalle vote that one might expect.
Big help among the Miami Cubanos, but I don't really see where he would have that much appeal among Mexican-Americans.
Not much of a man and an intellectual light-weight, next to Biden.
She blew it as Secretary of State.
Not going to draw many moderate voters.
B. McDonnell (Rorschach response to his picture: "trans-vaginal ultrasound")
Unknown to all but policy wonks.
Not much of a WOW factor there.
They would have to hire a general to watch him to make sure he does not commit some more serious breach of military decorum than he has already. The one military guy sure to alienate the military voters because he so lacks integrity and decency. He copped a plea to avoid a court-martial, for crying out loud. Sorry excuse for a soldier, that one.
I will reserve judgement until I know who the hell he is. (That should actually say something.)
Dem
J. Biden (inc)
H. Clinton
Hillary is showing her age and may be on the way out of high-level political engagement.
The Obama campaign is already sending out Obama/Biden bumper stickers.
