Minority Running Mates

Instead of writing lists of likely vice presidential running mates I'll just make some "demographic predictions". Chances are far greater that I'll be right this way.

• First of all, no more than one of the running mates will be a white male Christian. It is quite possible neither one of them will be a WASP, but definitely not both of them.
• Since I doubt that all four people on the two major tickets will be senators, no more than one current senator will be a VP nominee.
• Both will come from either red (conservative) or purple (swing) states. Neither one will come from a blue (liberal) state, unless Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton run together.
• If Barack Obama wins the Democratic presidential nomination, his running mate will not be black. John McCain's running mate will probably not be black, either.
• Both running mates will be between the ages of 50 and 65.
• One or both of the running mates will be a member of at least one of the following groups: women, Latinos and Jews.
• Neither RM will be openly gay or bisexual, nor will be even suspected as such.
• At least one, but probably both, will have previous executive experience as a governor, major city mayor, United States Cabinet member, diplomat, high ranking military officer or a prosecutor.
