The Vice President guess-a-thon

OK, we’re in the homestretch for the vice presidential selections.

Various names have been floated on both sides.

A range of reasons can be offered on which to base this decision.

Yes, there are political, geographic, experience and ideological factors, but in the end, three criteria seem paramount: 

One, are the two individuals compatible—do they get along?

Two, can this person be counted on not to make mistakes that could be a source of ongoing problems—verbal gaffes.—during the campaign?

Three, could this individual be counted on to effectively assume the presidency should circumstance make that necessary?

With those considerations, I’ll narrow it down to one prediction on each side and join the guess-a-thon thusly:

Democrat:  Senator Joe Biden
Republican:  Former Governor Mitt Romney
