Are we really at that stage of the campaign already...?
And no, please no more dark horses. At least not this soon, considering the last disaster...
Vice Chair of House Republican Leadership Conference, number four after Boehner, Cantor, and Pence...is not a dark horse.
I barely even remembered her name, and 99% of the country doesn't know it either... that's a dark horse.
Sarah Palin was in one of the least populated, most isolated states in the country and did nothing nationally. This woman coordinates the republican house and position like that doesn't go to someone who can't do the job. It doesn't matter that the country doesn't know her, this isn't the same thing as the country not knowing Sarah Palin at all.
I consider a dark-horse anyone who has less than 10% name recognition.
She can't be compared to Sarah Palin because of the name recognition factor. That is completely apples and oranges of differences.
Alex, if Romney picks her, 98% of Americans, and I'm not exaggerating, will be shocked. 97% of them will say "Who on Earth is that?"
That's my definition of a dark horse. Doesn't matter too much whether or not they have connections in D.C.
