I’ve always been a big fan of Cox—I had hoped that he would run for Senate v. Boxer, but I’m not sure what Cox adds to the ticket. California, his home state, looks hopeless and Cox doesn’t have much name recognition. I’d rather see Portman or Kasich (Ohio) or Romney (NH, Mich., Nevada) or Pawlenty (Minn., Wisc.), who might help deliver a key state.
Kasich would be a good pick. Everyone knows him and he is a real fiscal conservative who fought the tough fight in the 90’s.
I say no to pawlenty and romney is even worse.
