Vice President Hatch?
No chance
The Hill newspaper asked all 97 senators who are not currently running for president whether they would join the ticket of their respective party as the vice presidential contender. Some were funny, some were not.
Sen. Orrin Hatch: "Not on your life. I would not be asked anyway. I don't know anybody who wouldn't do whatever's best for the country, but in my case it's just not going to happen."
A valid point.
Hatch is now 74 years old, and combined with a 71-year-old John McCain, the duo would have a collective 145 years of experience heading into the White House. But a picture of the two doesn't really showcase the youthful exuberance strategists are probably looking for.
Would Bennett accept the vice president spot?
"Of course," Bennett told The Hill newspaper. "Big house, big car, not much to do. Why not?"
Good point.
Plus, the 5-foot-7 McCain could really benefit from a 6-foot-6 Bennett.
But, then again, Bennett is 74 years old, too. And I'm not sure Bennett would fit well into those undisclosed locations.
