Guess the VP #2: McCain's

[ColbertWatcher]

Poll for Obama's VP

[PDittie]

1. Rob Portman of Ohio.

[ColbertWatcher]

2. I have never heard his name in contention, why do you pick him? n/t

[PDittie]

3. A handful of reasons.

He's Pawlenty with economic bonafides (budget director for a time in the Bushco admin) and a state he can actually put in play (OH). Young, telegenic, solidly conservative.

If McCain doesn't pick him or Romney I will be surprised.

[ColbertWatcher]

4. Is he that popular in Ohio?

Or do you think it will be easier to fudge the numbers in Ohio is a local boy is on the ticket?

[PDittie]

5. He represented the district Mean Jean Schmidt

now represents (OH-2):



Not that this has anything to do with Portman's popularity ...

I think, yes, he is certainly popular enough; there's that pesky GOP voter suppression thing in Ohio ... just another confluence of happy coincidences that make Portman a sensible pick. There don't seem to be any downsides to his selection is another.

6. That explains how he got elected...

Interesting reasoning, now you got me thinking...

[PDittie]

7. That picture, and the one in your sig line

just seem to go together.
