(31,849 posts)though, Haley, seems a likely pick, now that Martinez (of New Mexico) seems to be self-destructing.
But, I have heard that Kaine is on HRC's short list, should she get the Democratic nod. That disappoints me because I think Castro is would be a better pick.

(130,899 posts)Virginia 'southern,' really? I guess, downstate anyway, but northern Virginians, as in DC suburbs, definitely don't think of themselves as living in a southern state.

(10,147 posts)I don't think he is capable of much more than regurgitating his memorized talking points. Ted Cruz will eviscerate him if Trump and Bush don't do it first. Rubio, the emptiest of empty suits.

(10,147 posts)who gets the Republican nomination. The way it looks right now is Ted Cruz is out organizing and out hustling Rubio. Rubio needs more votes than Sheldon Adelson can buy for him. My money is on Cruz unless there is a brokered convention then it will be Bush or Romney.
