I am not a huge fans of conservatives, but Martinez I do like and feel she has done an excellent in her short tenure as the New Mexico governor. She may have a bright future ahead of her in politics, but do not feel she is ready for a VP nomination just yet, and not entirely sure Willard would give her any serious thought.

She has a disabled sister that would not fare well with a move to DC. And, she doesn't want to disrupt her sister's life that way. That bit of human decency is something else the GOP can learn from her. But, you know they won't.

parading them in front of cameras and grifting her way across America for a couple months.

I don't like Republicans, I don't trust them, and I wouldn't put it past any of them to screw everyone in their families.

Yet another person being talked about who won't be V.P.

1. Romney is unlikely to pick a woman (Palin has poisoned the well for women candidates for this cycle).

2. Won't help much with the Latino vote.

3. Won't deliver him New Mexico since it will vote Obama anyway.

4. Would overshadow Romney.

5. And most importantly, she basically ruled herself out last month when she criticized Romney's own immigration policy by saying, “‘Self-deport?’ What the heck does that mean?”

What is The Daily Beast thinking? Reasoning and critical thinking certainly looks dead among today's media.

How on earth would she help him?

and make no mistake about it, that is exactly what they would be. They thought that it was a good idea to run a woman for VP last cycle because they believed (VERY wrongly) that disgruntled Hillary voters would flock to the GOP if they ran a woman. Well, that spectacularly backfired but it appears that they may well try again- whether it be with a woman, a Hispanic, or African-American. They are either cynical or naive to the extreme if they believe that members of a particular group will flock to the GOP just because they put them on a ticket somewhere REGARDLESS of how odious and/or misguided their policies are, proving again that they are all about style about substance. It's actually sort of ironic given that they are forever bemoaning "identity politics".
