A sterling idea. A tad less exciting than the Hunger Games, but…….’twould be entertaining. Have you considered going into reality TV programming?

Or maybe a paintball shootout? To choose the Republican VP nominee, that is. Or, a Fear Factor competition where they have to eat dog, give an order for a drone strike, select a green energy firm for a grant, resist hotel hotties, etc. Could be pure genius with the right creativity.

Too old -70. [Too dumb- that didn’t make any difference in 2008, so it wouldn’t now.]

He’ll remind everyone that probably any one of these people has more common sense than Biden — again and again.

Which isn’t very difficult to do. He isn’t nicknamed “Slow Joe” for no reason.

I am reminded of some blogger or commenter saying recently that it is a prime Demo tactic to attack your opponent for something which is your own weakness. In 2008, the Demos attacked Sarah Palin – which helped obscure the qualities of the dunderhead they had running for VP.

He’s going to parade a long series of possible VP candidates starting with Rubio, this one, and on for the next few months.

He’ll give each one a test run in front of the media/public and gauge reactions.

He’ll remind everyone that probably any one of these people has more common sense than Biden – again and again.

He’ll be keeping favorable media attention on himself and because it’s a zero sum situation away from Obama.

And don’t be surprised if he comes back to several for a second or even third run by the media.

He’s an ex Army officer and attorney general.

He is chair of the Republican governors’ association.

I don’t hear his name much.
