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

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.

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).


If he was to pick a senator I think that Portman would be more likely to help him in Ohio.
