grade the preceding VP choice for Santorum2012

[Person Man]

B-  A great way to balance the ticket. A moderate. A Hawk. ...but isn't from a different state or a swing state.



Bobby Jindal

[Person Man]

B-. Conservative, but not insane. Moderately popular. Probably won't be able to swing his state, though... a fat ass. People don't like that.


Ilena Ros

[Person Man]

Z


John Barrasso

[Person Man]

D+ - Insider, Token and Troll. ...but from a swing state and has experience...but is an "insider".




Jon Huntsman

[Person Man]

B+. That's actually pretty good.  Only problem is that he is a Bush.

Nikki Haley

[Person Man]

D. Isn't that what Rick's dream job is?


Bob Corker

[Person Man]

A- "moderately pro-choice" in her own words but still has strong conservative credentials. Sane Hawk that straddles the line between traditional Goldwater nationalist and neocon. A good academic. Minority. Woman. Foreign Policy Experience. What's not to like? 



Brian Sandoval

[Person Man]

C. A good approach but probably almost too liberal...and doesn't really get him into any new places....


Though, to be honest, Santorum's a Northeastern Nationalist. The way to be balance him out would be a neoliberal or a neocon from the West or South (though almost anyone in the south is just a generic R or a Nationalist) ...or a straight-up moderate from the midwest(like that still exists, though)....that being said-

Mitch Daniels...granted he's really a generic righty, he has said some moderate things and maybe he can make a Santorum strategy of just talking it up with typical 2005 Ford Taurus driving blond hair 42 year olds who make $39,000 a year as assistant managers or tech support guys at call centers or small ramp factories in Michigan or Ohio....these guys and gals probably voted for Obama in desperation but probably think "he's a nice guy and he's tried hard, but I'm just not that comfortable with the things he says or does...and besides, my boss is sick of him. In fact, Jim just started smoking again with how he's going to deal the Health Care thing. I didn't like that bill, but I think we'll give it a shot...My aunt Norma's not doing to well and is only in her 50's".
