CNN Undercard Republican Debate: Live Coverage

Santorum and Huckabee are too socially conservative and economically liberal (or populist), and the Republican nominee isn’t likely to be a social liberal. Pataki is too liberal. Graham has his own problems.

I’d agree on Graham, but his net favorability isn’t great. Huckabee’s is best, but he’d only work paired with the right top of the ticket.

I’d go with Graham out of these. If I had to choose. Single-issue veep — going door to door solemnly intoning that people are coming to kill you, but he is personally going to kill them first.
