KBH isn’t a good executive pick. She’s a follower, not a leader. She’s a moderate, not a conservative. Voting for her IS simple pandering, as she brings nothing favorable to the table BUT her sex.
Palin, on the other hand, would be a good choice. She would bring energy (literally and figuratively). She would hype up the base because she is one of the Republican ‘brat pack’ of new talent (Palin, Jindal, Steele, Ryan, Cantor). She’s not just an executive, but a very popular one. She brings a compelling story. The case might still be made that the choice is pandering, but I doubt it could stick, in the face of the the base’s reaction to her as a pick: relief, for the most part.
And, I think the Dems ARE scared he’ll pick a woman. It would help if it’s the RIGHT woman. KBH isn’t that woman.
I think any of the ‘in’ picks (Romney, Pawlenty, Lieberman, Ridge) would be a letdown or ‘safe’ picks, ala Biden. If the first command of VP is do no wrong, going to the future for the GOP would be right.
I heard at the corner that Brownback is being considered. Him, Kasich, or one of the up and comers listed above: ANY of THOSE picks would be good picks.
I can live with Pawlenty or Romney, but why eat ramen noodles when you can afford steak?
