Few people today regard the American vice presidency the way John Nance Garner did when he described the job as one that “isn’t worth a pitcher of warm spit,” probably a softened version of his actual words. Yet modern-day politicians would rather talk about arcane parts of the tax code than publicly acknowledge speculation that they’re being mentioned as vice presidential timber. U.S. Sen. Martin Heinrich, a Democrat from Albuquerque, is one of them. Heinrich, who endorsed Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton back in 2014, is among a couple of dozen names that often surface when political writers and commentators discuss the best bets to become Clinton’s running mate this summer. Along with Heinrich, Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown, Virginia Sens. Tim Kaine and Mark Warner, and the Castro twins of Texas, Congressman Joaquin and Cabinet Secretary Julián of Housing and Urban Development, figure in many of the discussions, none of them more scientific than a coin flip. Heinrich, 44, a first-term senator, last week was good-natured in deflecting most questions about whether he could be part of the Democrats’ presidential ticket this year. “I’m in the Draft-Castro-for-VP Club,” Heinrich said during a visit to Santa Fe Community College. Which Castro twin was he talking about? “Anyone that’s not me,” Heinrich said.

Who?
The name is too foreign: Mrs. Bill likes American names.
It does not matter who the Clinton crime mob picks. You can bet it will be a real jewel of liberalism and communism that will not overshadow Hitlery’s own established “credentials” of crime and deceit against the CITIZENS of the USA.
I think Hillary wants Heinrich Himmler.
Baaaa!
Oh... I thought they meant Heinrich Himmler. I was going to point out that he’s no longer living.
One Himmler on the ticket is enough isn’t it?
Hitler and Heinrich together again 2016.
Martin Heinrich D-NM is a complete liberal democrat. He votes for anything the Bam wants. A relative unknown who came on the NM scene a few years ago, I thought New Mexican’s were smarter... but apparently not.
This makes two Owls saying “Who-Who?”.
From what the article indicates, Heinrich is young (44) and telegenic, unlike Madame Hillary. Heinrich was recently asked who he thought would be a good VP candidate for Hil.
He said
‘One of the Castros’. A reporter, thinking he meant the Castro twins said ‘which one?’. Heinrich replies ‘Any one who’s not me’. This was some months back. Maybe there is pressure on him to ‘get his mind right’ and throw hat in the ring. This would be a similar duo as GHWB and Dan Quayle.
Und Huma can play zee Grand Mufftee!
Zbringdime foor Hitlery!
Why, to get back any support she might have lost by saying that all people with German names are Nazis?
Not that Hillary’s racist diatribe against people of a certain ethnic background received any publicity...
Burkha and ball gag would help. Shackles and orange jumpsuit would be better.
Who the hell is Heinrich? Another commie ‘RAT rising RED star?
Like Abedin.
the old Heinrich maneuver, huh?
American names to fool the American people
