Martinez (R-NM) for Veepee!!
I’m sure there are many here who have a problem with Susanna as the choice. I admit to not knowing much about her, so there could well be many openings for her detractors, all valid.
That being said, there are several reasons I like this choice:
1) As a woman, she has immediate appeal to half the voters. There are many close swing states, and giving half the voters a good reason to vote your ticket is not a bad idea.
2) As a Latino, there is immediate appeal to a large percentage of the Florida voters, a state Obama must lose.
3) A bit more diabolical here, but politically it may not be a bad idea to subtly pit the Latino vote versus the Black vote, and find a way through surrogates to present it that way.
Naw. Romney's going to pick Hillery. Just kidding...kinda.
