As I recall, GWB was hardly ready. He had to steal the election courtesy of the Supreme Court to actually take Office initially. More recently, we have the choice of Paul Ryan by another Republican clown who himself was not ready to be President.

Is anyone ever really "ready", or do they rise to the occasion more or less once they are there? Castro would make a fine choice for VP. He is young, and vibrant and offers some real progressive balance to Hillary who is a bit old school, but better than anything the Republicans could possibly throw up.
