What does this even mean? By her reasoning with regard to Kyl, Perry was just as tested (just not a good debater) having served in state government for almost 2 decades.
As much as VP picks matter (which is not much and Rubio probably isn't going to help the GOP nominee with Latino voters), Rubio is a fine pick. He's conservative and popular with the base of the Republican party. That alone helps Romney, especially after this primary process, and that's something you can't say about Kyl.
Seriously, who wants John Kyl as a VP nominee? Christie is a little better I suppose, but John Kyl? Really?
That did sound stange. Maybe she said “Brown Tile” ~ certainly not “John Kyl” ~
