While it wouldn't bother me at all if he's the choice, some voters might question why this is a "West Coast ticket". Frankly, I think it'd be kinda refreshing, but it seems to me something more balanced, from another timezone, might be the better pick.

And it's not like we don't have one of those "embarrassments of riches" in evidence here. There's a lot to like in every one of 'em.
