1. the gop is praying the don doesn't get the nomination...whistling past the graveyard

2. I can't speak to the gop picks ...

though, Haley, seems a likely pick, now that Martinez (of New Mexico) seems to be self-destructing.

But, I have heard that Kaine is on HRC's short list, should she get the Democratic nod. That disappoints me because I think Castro is would be a better pick.

3. Really, what does Kaine have to offer?

[1StrongBlackMan]

5. He's a white, male, from a Southern state ...

with executive experience, and little know baggage.

8. Gotcha.

Virginia 'southern,' really? I guess, downstate anyway, but northern Virginians, as in DC suburbs, definitely don't think of themselves as living in a southern state.

9. LOL ...

I know ... But the rest of America, does!

[elleng]

10. TOO funny!

Oh YES, JUST recalled, used to stock this for a guy I dated!!! (HE's from Mass, but lived in DC/VA)

14. Susana Martinez is Sara Palin without the charisma

Petty, mean and vindictive she would be a good running mate for Chris Christie.

4. Rubio? No way

the teabagger donimunists are gonna let that happen.

[comradebillyboy]

15. Plus he's running a miserable campaign

I don't think he is capable of much more than regurgitating his memorized talking points. Ted Cruz will eviscerate him if Trump and Bush don't do it first. Rubio, the emptiest of empty suits.

[workinclasszero]

17. Got to agree

with that.

6. I don't think both candidates from the South will work for the GOP

But who the eff am I to give advice to these idiots?

[pscot]

7. Dog forbid we should have candidates

from west of the Appalachians.

11. No way is Tim Kaine the Dem Veep nominee.

Julian Castro will be the Veep nominee.

[B Calm]

12. If it is Rubio I look for Castro on the Democratic ticket.

[comradebillyboy]

13. All the pundits tell me Castro is the one but I agree it will depend on

who gets the Republican nomination. The way it looks right now is Ted Cruz is out organizing and out hustling Rubio. Rubio needs more votes than Sheldon Adelson can buy for him. My money is on Cruz unless there is a brokered convention then it will be Bush or Romney.

16. Fortunately, my ballot comes with more than two choices.

18. I wouldn't take the odds on those tickets.
