The last two men who picked females as running mates went down to bitter defeats, but you think there will be a third stab at it?

Fiorina is not running for VP. She [knows that she] has nothing to contribute as VP, not being from a typical "Washington political class," with wide and deep connections on the Hill.

However... there is a very good chance that GOP VP spot on the ticket will be given to a female Hispanic Governor from New Mexico, Susana Martinez (changed party affiliation from Democrat to Republican in 1995).

Ferraro was a poor and bizarre choice (Husband had financial issues) and Palin a mixed blessing but neither was the reason their man lost. Mondale was gonna lose badly, period, his VP was of no consequence after Reagan tore his throat out in their debate. There is some evidence Palin helped a bit with the woman’s vote and the base loved her. McCain wasn’t gonna win after the financial collapse, and his response to it, a different running mate would have changed nothing, the man at the top of the ticket was the problem, he was a fool.

I think there’s an excellent chance the GOP nominee, who will be a man and likely running against Hillary, will want a woman on his ticket. Because, duh. I mean really, duh. Dismissing the notion because the Ferraro and Palin weren’t elected is absurd.

Fiorina and Gov. Susana Martinez and are the likeliest female choices.
