Mary Fallin seems a bit out of nowhere. Can anyone who's more plugged-in to the right wing media sphere provide some insight?
Christie asked her to replace him as the NGA Vice-Chair, so after a year she'll be chair of the NGA. Of course she's a solid conservative who's a women from the south, so basically just a good demographic to have. She has some ambitions stocked in her with the way she presented herself and state at the NGA whenever she spoke, and could potentially get a cabinet position from Romney.
