Ironically, there was a time, a smoke-filled room time, when selecting a presidential nominee was far less open process than selecting a vice presidential one, which was left, on many occasion, to the delegates. Now, in order to become a nominee, one must face a nationwide primary. But there's no such transparency in selecting a running-mate: basically nominee says he want that guy and it's over.
I think establishing separate primaries for President and Vice President (as we have many separate primaries for future ticket-mates on statewide level) would be a great idea.
What do you think, guys?
I think we need Susana Martinez, Duncan Hunter is a good American, but being Congressman and a war hero is not enough. Ron Paul could (he's a vet, not a "war hero" type though) fit that persona as well.
Another Governor with less than two years of service? I don't want to compare Martinez and Palin, but it's not a good message.
