Why? If a VP nominee can’t bring his/her home state to the table, he/she is worthless. No ticket wins the presidency without the VP bringing their home state. Fiorina can’t win CA.
For VP, people who can bring an in-play state to the table include:
Walker (good choice)
Rubio (fair choice)
Martinez (meh)
Kasich (barf)
Christie has won state-wide in Jersey, but anyone who thinks he can bring NJ to the table in a presidential election is smoking something.
Because her presence on the ticket limits the dems’ whole “war on women” demagoguery. Also, the repubs have been losing the middle class working woman’s vote for years now, and I think Fiorina helps bring some of them back.
Plus, LA is going republican whether Jindal is on the ticket or not.
Cruz/Walker because of the chance to get Wisconsin or at least to be more competitive in midwestern states than usual. Cruz/Rubio. Well, you can’t discount the importance of Florida, but I doubt you’ll see two Hispanics on the same ticket.
