I don’t think the defeats of Mitt Romney, John McCain, Bob Dole, Gerald Ford and Barry Goldwater have much to do with them not being named Bush or Nixon. Reagan still would have won if he chosen a better VP.
Ford lost because of Nixon, if he had not pardoned him....
No.
Impy, if you want to ignore unambiguous, scientific evidence, that’s up to you. I, for one, am starting my letter-writing campaign to MO Gov. Jay Nixon so as to convince him to switch to the GOP and run for VP as Jeb Bush’s runningmate. : )

If FL doesn’t have an LBJ law in the books, the GOP legislature should approve one post-haste, so Rubio can run for reelection as a Senator even if he is nominated as VP (or as president for that matter).
