I like the choice on the surface, as long as:

1) Pence will be good in the debates

2) He can tip two battleground Rust Belt states that Romney lost back to the “R” column. That would include any two of OH, PA, MI, WI, MN. I assume IL is a lost cause.

In this election we have probably the two most well known and publicized POTUS candidates ever.

It’s difficult for me to imagine the VP candidate having any measurable effect.

Other than perhaps Hillary’s Negro/Hispanic boy stimulating the ‘hood turnout a bit.

I don’t remember VPs debating?

You mean Chi town is a lost cause, like TN it Memphis, NY it’s NYC. The populations are so large, black, libtards, that they rule the rest of the state.

Ill. used to be a big steel mill producer.

I grew up in Hammond, IN, 30 miles from Chi Town, it was full of the old Mayor Daily then as it is now. Steel mills flourished, some of the highest Blue Collar jobs to be had in the 30 mile radius extending into Ind. Not any more. It comes from China now.

Memphis is a little Chi Town. Nashville has halve the crime rate.

1. He would be above average, and exceed expectations. Will clobber any of the likely VP picks.His intelligence, experience at both state executive and federal legislature, hosting radio/TV shows, and low-key demeanor all help.

2. He may not hand those states directly to Trump, but will force Dems to direct resources to the area. Those states are big enough that the man on the street in IL and WI (where I've lived) really don't hear much about Pence, or have any reason to think about him. That said, his record and demeanor play better in the heartland to some mid-westerners than Trump. He will also help "hold-your-nose" Trump supporters get excited about the election and work for the team.
