Strategically, I say Walker (POTUS) and Rubio (VP)

Walker has executive experience. He has been re-elected and won a recall vote in a blue state. He must be doing something right.

Rubio is an Hispanic from Florida.

This would almost assure Florida in the electoral college and it puts Wisconsin in play.

Honorable mention would be Rand Paul (POTUS) and Bobby Jindahl (VP). Rand is a libertarian who goes against the establishment and would get a lot of his dad's followers and Jindahl would also bring in minority votes. The reason I don't have them higher is because they are from Kentucky and Louisiana, two states the GOP have locked up.

Any opinions?

 What difference, at this point, does it make?

I'm sure if you polled Hispanics in California it would be unfavorable but if you polled Hispanics in Florida it would be a different story.

Warren? What do you see in her? Did you like it when her team sent out thousands of flyers to get those on welfare to vote. The bad thing is thousands came back as undeliverable.
I must say she does open up eyes.
Besides we need another HARVARD educator to tell us the government built the roads that the rest of us needed to run our businesses!
What I would like is Warren to take a lie detector test because I really want to know if she is part Indian because to me she looks more like a horses ass.

Senator Warren was a law professor for more than 30 years, including nearly 20 years as the Leo Gottlieb Professor of Law at Harvard Law School. The graduating class at Harvard twice recognized her with the Sacks-Freund Award for excellence in teaching. She taught courses on commercial law, contracts, and bankruptcy and wrote more than a hundred articles and ten books, including three national best-sellers,  A Fighting Chance,The Two-Income Trap, and All Your Worth. National Law Journal named her one of the Most Influential Lawyers of the Decade, TIME Magazine twice named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world, and she has been honored by the Massachusetts Women's Bar Association with the Lelia J. Robinson Award.

Who needs that?? What we need is a college dropout..

I hope someone challenges Walker for working for the Red Cross.
I'm praying for it.

Not smart enough to finish college......

President Andrew Jackson, a military governor, Army commander, an attorney, and a congressman – all without ever going to college..

Your comparing him to some dumb  backwards country darn from the 1800s.   Scott walker went to college and ran for just bout every office there was in college.   That shows that at a very young age he knew politics was his life.   Yet he did not have the discipline, commitment, sticktoitiveness to finish.   That speaks volumes and should disqualify him from being pres

That's one of the dumbest things I've ever read. Plenty of people have the commitment and sticktoitiveness yet couldn't lead themself out of a wet paper sack

He knew he wanted to be a politician. He knew in the 21st century politicians need to graduate. He couldn't get it done.

He'll get eaten alive when the sharks start circling..

Take the name Scott Walker out of the equation.  Insert any number of people who didn't finish college or even go...........

This officially ranks as one of the dumbest statements of the year.  We will need to revisit it at years end to see if it wins top prize.

...............only from the keystrokes of a Simpleton.

Why so sure?  So far he has done very well. In fact you can argue---he has been the shark.
