Locke provides three distinct advantages that a Clinton ticket lacks. Executive experience (he was a governor), business experience (he was secretary of Commerce) and successful foreign policy experience (ambassador to China). Plus he'd break another glass ceiling as the first Asian American VP. He's old though, and will never be a rock star. Castro is being groomed so I suspect she'll pick him.
As for Rubio being a half wit, while I disagree, it's irrelevant. For God's sake, Joe Biden is our vice president right now. Rubio provides great optics, had foreign policy experience (which, as another poster noted, a two governor ticket lacks) and helps in Florida. But given the opportunity to pick a Mexican American female governor, my bet is Walker goes with Martinez.
1.Executive experience: Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State
2.Business experience: Hillary Clinton was a partner at the Rose Law firm as well as being on the boards of over 10 companies, though her association at some of those companies is not something she seems to like to bring up, just as John Kerry did not ever bring up his successful ownership of a gourmet cookie store likely because of the rather sleazy way he started the company. (He pretended he was interested in becoming an owner of a major cookie store franchise business, took the business plan and opened his own store).
3."succesful" foreign policy experience. Hillary Rodham Clinton is often sited by polls as one of the best recent Secretaries of State.
1) I assume by executive they meant-governor. Not that this is much of an issue-people tend to vote for senator/governors it's only congressman who could struggle at the top of the ticket.
2) As you say HRC doesn't need any business links-wall street already love her, and as warren said why do we need people in government who've come straight from business.
3) Eh? What polls? I'd say that Dulles, Marshall and Kissinger were much more effective than Clinton, and actually shaped foreign policy away from the President (in a sense) HRC didn't achieve much as SOS apart from pushing to Libya intervention
Now onto the tickets
Clinton/Castro. Unless something comes in the Vetting or if Hilary has promised it to someone else I can't see it going to anyone else-Castro seems made for it, only concern is his lack of experience tied into Clintons age
Romney/Jindal. Have a hunch that Romney will enter late into the primaries, and win after establishment candiates like Bush and Christie fall
