What about DeMint? He’s conservative and from the South.
Sounds good here, but he wouldn’t add anything vote-wise. She already has the conservatives and the GOP will win the south regardless. If geography is a consideration, I would be looking at Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, or Iowa, maybe a popular governor or former governor. Remember we picked up the governorships in PA, OH, MI,WI,IA, and NM in 2010. The state legislatures flipped to Republican in OH and PA. The media wants us to forget that. They also want us to forget the effectiveness of Gov. Palin and the TEA party. FL and VA will be in the GOP column in 2012 and if you add OH and PA, Obama is toast. A VP candidate from one of those states (OH or PA) might ice the deal. John Kasich might be in the right place at the right time.
