People also don’t pick running mates that can’t deliver their home state, at least. Hunter obviously can’t.
People need to forget their Hunter-VP fantasies.

Agreed. Those fantasies are the fallback postion from their original hopes for Hunter. At least they are headed in the right direction (down-ticket).
Well, Bush wasn’t really worried about picking up Wyoming when he added Cheney to the ticket.
Thompson would be the kind of guy that might pick the best person, not the expedient one.
But that might not be any of the current candidates.
BTW, since Thompson really likes McCain, I wouldn’t rule out a Thompson/McCain ticket. And I wouldn’t dismiss the possibility that McCain wouldn’t go ahead and serve as VP for his good friend — I don’t think McCain would do so for anybody else.
VP? Not hardly. If I’m going with the long shot , it’s going to be for first place.
