I don't know why its a big deal if its a boring white guy. I mean the Dems picked Lloyd Bensten over Jessie Jackson in 1988. So aren't the Dems intersted in boring white guys too? Don't tell me Al Gore is exciting too. John Edwards and Joe Lieberman are exciting as well?

It's more the fact that a campaign insider directly implied that being a white male was a nonnegotiable requirement to be Romney's VP pick. Could easily come across as bigoted.

Pawlenty is the most boring guy, but he has the strangest last name.  It might be too difficult for voters to pronouce.  It might sound too foreign. 

reality check: our current president's name is "Barack Hussein Obama"... I don't think you can really claim that "a foreign sounding name" is really a negative anymore.
