Clinton would never pick another senior citizen as her VP choice.

Clinton/Castro
Walker/Martinez

I think Gary Locke would be her best option for Clinton, but in an effort to create another superstar who can solidify the Hispanic vote in 2020 or 2024, she'll pick Castro.

Likewise, Walker's best option would be Rubio, but he'll pick Martinez for demographic reasons.

While the past is no predictor of the future (duhhh), it should be remembered that every Democratic vice presidential pick has been a senator since, I believe, 1948 with the exception of Geraldine Ferraro in 1984.

Rubio is a half wit and will be defeated for reelection to the senate if he runs again.

My predictions:
D: Hillary (Rodham) Clinton/Mark Warner
R:Scott Walker/Bob Corker (assuming he becomes Chair of the Senate foreign relations committee)

Both V.P nominees from New Mexico?

Heinrich would be nice as he is a scientist (mechanical engineer).

My thought was that Walker picks Martinez first (since the opposition party usually does) and then Clinton picks Heinreich. It's pretty logical for both of them. A republican nominee needs to show that they aren't entirely the party of old white men and Hillary needs a younger running mate. Heinreich seems like the most natural choice.

Congressman Ben Ray Lujan is also a wild card possibility, ironically also a New Mexican.

A republican nominee's shortlist would probably come down to Portman and Martinez and they need to show that they aren't entirely the party of old white men and Hillary needs a younger running mate. Heinreich seems like the most natural choice.

Being from British Columbia, I'd like to see Gary Locke, but he's been out of elected politics for around  10 years and is probably largely forgotten.

Would a Hillary Clinton/Gary Locke ticket be the first time 2 cabinet secretaries were chosen?

The last (and as far as I know only) person from Washington State to run for president is U.S Senator Henry (Scoop) Jackson in 1976. He was the initial front runner, according to the media anyway, but, of course lost out to Jimmy Carter.

1.I can't see Walker picking another governor.  With foreign policy rising in importance among voters (of course the election is still two years off),  I think he'd need to pick a senator with foreign policy experience (hence Corker).

2.Walker, Martinez and Heinrich would 'show up' Hillary Clinton's age.  I believe she's more likely to play up the 'experience' angle as a counter balance to that, hence somebody like Mark Warner.

If Hillary Clinton is the Dem nominee…probably Clinton/Castro.

For GOP, if nominee is a former governor, expect Ayotte or Rubio or another senator as VP.

The likeliest match-up is Clinton/ Castro VS Paul/ Walker

Given the potential Clinton running mates, and the number of potential Republican presidential nominees, to say nothing of the plausible running mates, there may not be a ten percent chance we'll see this particular match-up.

I think Democrats tried to build a running mate for Clinton by giving Castro a cabinet post, given the paucity of Hispanic statewide officeholders. A younger western Hispanic guy is probably the best match for her. He also backed her in 2008, and is a protege of one of a former Bill Clinton cabinet secretary, which is a big deal because the Clintons are horrible, petty and insular people.

Rand Paul is one of the Republican frontrunners, and he seems to have the most obvious running mate. Scott Walker adds executive experience and geographic diversity, without undercutting Paul's likely message. His profile is also likely to be increased with a presidential bid.
