Where will he get his money this “nobody?” That will say it all.
He’s a guy running for VP and all he has to do is make a couple of speeches and impress voters that he’s not a nutcase. We used to not worry about the VP pick and they’d just pick no-name guys out of a hat. Now, everyone wants to see the guy way ahead of time and have some idea of his competence.
All that said....he comes across as a fairly friendly character and at least appears to be clever/intelligent. He has some southern charm, and does good at speeches. I’d probably put him onto the list of five good picks for VP (if you want to avoid picking a Senator).
