Would it be a mistake for the GOP nominee not to vet Martinez, Sandoval, Rubio?

[Suburbia]

Whoever the GOP presidential nominee is in 2016, would it be a mistake not to seriously consider and vet Susana Martinez, Brian Sandoval, and Marco Rubio for the vice presidency due to:
-Their apparent inexperience on the national stage
-Republicans can't seem to get more of the Hispanic vote for some reason
Would it be a mistake to just vet boring , but the safest and most uninspiring guys such as Thune or Portman, etc?

[I Will Not Be Wrong]

90% sure the VP candidate will be either Martinez or Rubio.

Yeah, that's a real mystery

+1 internet point.

For Christ's sake, it's just vetting someone. Leave no stone unturned.

Martinez would be my bet.

[Mr. Morden]

Don't know, but I think it's safe to say that if Clinton is the Democratic nominee, then the GOP VP short list will include one or more women.

Martinez would be my bet.

Her statements about running outside of New Mexico go beyond Shermanesque.

Yeah, she doesn't seem like she wants to run at all. I say Rubio will be the VP nominee.

Meh. She has plenty of time to change her mind. She'll almost definitely be in her second term by 2016, and by that time she may have warmed up to the VP spot.

True.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Sandoval is pro-choice. A nonstarter for the GOP ticket.

True.

No, her sister is one of the main reasons that she wants to stay in New Mexico, and her sister is probably going to stay on for a very long time.

And here's a bunch of other reasons why she won't be Veep in 2016, sure, it's about 2012, but it is still pretty relevent:http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/why-susana-martinez-wont-be-romneys-vp/

Sad her father has Alzheimer's, anyway, that rules her out for sure then.

I'm sure any candidate would help accommodate care for her sister. And subsequently do so if elected.

[daveosupremo]

Martinez won't run for President, but I suspect she'd be open to VP for the right candidate. She'd probably say yes to Walker if he asked her.

Sandoval won't be considered.

Rubio would accept a VP spot if he thought they would have a chance at winning, but not if they're a long shot. He wouldn't want to lose his senate seat for a long shot at VP.

[Vosem]

Yes but not for the reason you listed. What Republicans need is a safe pick who carries the potential for attracting voters, as opposed to a game-changer. Palin is a game-changer; Biden is safe pick who could have attracted voters to Obama. See the difference? All three of those (maybe not Sandoval, who is pro-choice) fit that category, so they should be vetted.

Her father died last year:
