No one has mentioned Susanna Martinez. I really hate the "optics" thing, but I also think one has to at least acknowledge it when making a choice for VP.

I'm thinking that the other side is going to shake down one Granny - HRC or more likely Warren, and one Commie of Latino descent (I maintain that a Castro brother is going to be in this mix somehow, either as the "Hispanic Obama" or as a VP

A choice of Martinez would blunt both the "first female" and "first Hispanic" memes.

It played well in Wisconsin with Walker/Kleefisch, and I think it would play well nationally.

I love Ted Cruz, but he is much needed in his role in the Senate if we are to have a chance of even nominally repairing the damage that's been done over since 2008.

Oh, I would wholeheartedly support Martinez on the ticket, too!
