I know VPs aren't picked for reasons like this, but a benefit of a McDonnell pick would not only be crucial assistance in the decisive state of the 2012 election. Elevating the more electable Bolling to the position gives him an incumbency advantage that can help counter Cuccinelli's strength with the extremist base in a Republican gubernatorial primary. Relying on recent history would mean a Democratic win here following a Romney victory. The pattern could reverse itself, though. Warner will not run, I can guarantee you that.
