David Brooks On VP: "I Personally Think Portman Is The Right Pick"

"You know, I go for gravitas," David Brooks said. "I personally think Portman is the right pick. Look, something is going to happen in the world. The big political event that happened last week was the Spanish bonds went crazy. That means a European crisis is more likely. The Iranian crisis has gotten more likely as Israel's patience has begun to wear thin. So two big things are possible over the next 107 days. So you want a vice presidential candidate who seems up to that. So I'd go for the boring grave guy." (via Jeff Poor/Daily Caller)
