http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/279943-carson-palin-on-list-of-potential-trump-running-matesBen Carson says in a new interview that former Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin is being considered as presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trumps running mate, along with a host of the real estate moguls former challengers....
Palin, however, last Sunday said she likely wouldn't consider being Trumps running mate.
"Well, I want to help and not hurt, and I am such a realist that I realize there are a whole lot of people out there who would say 'anybody but Palin,' " the former Alaska governor said on CNN's "State of the Union."
"I don't want to be a burden on the ticket, and I realize in many eyes, I would be a burden," she said. "I just want the guy to win, and I don't know if I would be the person to help him win."

if he went to the streets and shot someone. However choosing Palin would hurt even if he likes a little spanking.
