Dear GOP,
PLEASE consider nominating Rep. Kevin McCarthy for the Veep slot in 2012.
One of the "Young Guns" (along with Cantor and Ryan), McCarthy comes from California.
Now, while I don't see a circumstance that would gain the Republican vote in the election, the nomination of McCarthy WOULD have at least one PROFOUND affect:
IT WOULD FORCE THE DNC TO DO SOMETHING IT HASN'T HAD TO DO IN A LONGGGGGGGG TIME: SPEND MONEY IN CALIFORNIA.
In fact, they'd have to dump their WHOLE war chest in California.
The battle for President is largely a swing state matter; with those swing states receiving the lion's share of BOTH party's campaign money.
IF nominated, Democrats would have to spend HUGE amounts of money in California, which would completely defund the monies usually dedicated to swing states.
Obama is ALREADY having his ass handed to him in these states by both Romney and Gingrich.
A McCarthy nomination would almost SURELY end Democratic squatting in the Executive Office....
Hirota: out.
