I think it's going to be Rubio/Haley

Nikki Haley, the South Carolina governor might chip off some female voters from Bernie, Hillary, or O'Malley, and she solidifies the South. It's going to be an all-Southern ticket in 2016 for the GOP.

Ohio, Ohio, Ohio etc.

Plus, tho terrible on many issues, is relatively sane. Appeals more to older, a bit more thoughtful Repugs than others (I.e. Those who identify more with Rockefeller, Ford and Dole.) Key portion of the turnout, perhaps only for this cycle before going to the Great Beyond.

However, will showcase Haley at every opportunity in exchange for a plum post in the Cabinet.

We shall see.

drinking the water. I said then he was going to be dangerous. Everyone laughed at me..asked me if I saw the same thing they did.

He's young, good looking, and his speaking skills have improved. I still say he's dangerous. I wouldn't dismiss him.

I'm going to have to find that thread. I started it...so it should be too hard.

eta: it wasn't the rebuttle

Rubio is the republican John Edwards. Rubio/Haley may win the confederacy, but they won't win much else. It'll be sex scandal at the top and bottom of the ticket.

She may destroy Clinton, but she has baggage in South Carolina. She's a high risk choice.

And if history teaches us anything, the bottom of the ticket cannot compensate for inadequacies on the top of the ticket.
