Frankly, it looks like a weak pick.When he was running for President he made the same complaints about Obama that the Republicans are making and praised McCain.He certainly did not pull many votes.
The Republicans are already quoting him for THEIR cause.I suspect it will be seen as more weakness than courage and the want for someone who "might not agree with him".With the remarks he made during his run about Obama,it will be portrayed a "surrender" for sure !:+
