How about Governor Jindal?
I wish.
More seriously, I would think that a ‘moderate,’ pro-choice, New York Italian would almost have to name a southerner to the ticket to make sure that Hillary doesn’t pick Phil Bredesen, or Mark Warner, and maybe pick up 3-5 southern states. I also think that a Senator isn’t really a problem since Rudy nails the ‘outsider’ cred pretty well. But even at that, the list is still short — Huckabee, Sanford, DeMint (a Romney backer), Barbour, Cornyn (a personal favorite).
And who was that governor of Florida… last name starts with a ‘B’…
