Brokered convention scenario leads to 75% Cuban ticket: either Cruz/Rubio or Rubio/Cruz.  Tongue

Why are people picking Joni Ernst? She literally just came to the Senate...

Didn't stop Sarah Palin.
And we saw how that turned out. Additionally, she's been here for a year. Sarah had prior experience and was governor for two years.

Huh?

Palin: Elected governor in 2006, and so had 2 years experience by election day 2008.
Ernst: Elected senator in 2014, and so will have 2 years experience by election day 2016.

I meant Palin wasnt considered until 2008. Why would Ernst already be considered?

Considered by this forum?  Palin's name was being floated as early as July 2007:

Or do you mean considered by the presidential candidates?  In that case, I don't think any of the candidates are thinking too much about running mates yet, so the point seems moot.
