When I saw he graduated from Miami (OH), my first thought was which fraternity he was in.

Thanks for the info!

I'll admit that I'm a little surprised. He seems kind of like a lightening rod pick.

Nate Silver at 538 has an interesting take on it.

Watching these two on the campaign trail is going to be like watching two sweaters. Wished he had picked someone more dynamic or with a little bit of a broader appeal. Yawn.

I can't decide if you mean men who sweat a lot, or if you are talking about Mr. Rogers cardigan sweaters. Either way it is funny and also weird.

Watching Fox News this morning reminds me that all politicians are annoying.

They are discussing the strengths and weaknesses of Paul Ryan and how the Obama Administration is preparing the attack. Blah.
