to be tempted to pick either a woman or minority for obvious reasons that would appeal to different voting bloc and he might otherwise attract. as long as that pick someone who was great substance and of themselves and martinez's great substance. none of that matters unless you win which wine is going to be a cabinet secretary instead of the vp. will be right back.
