Our take: Karl Rove talks about his experience vetting a vice presidential candidate, and what factors will play in Mitt Romney's decision for VP.
We've entered the silly season when vast numbers of words will be expended on who Mitt Romney's vice presidential running mate should be. Since the actual announcement is likely to be made shortly before the Aug. 31 GOP convention, we'll have to endure three-and-a-half months of pundits handicapping prospects.
This exercise is largely useless. Who thought at this point in 2000 that the vice-presidential nominees would be Dick Cheney and Joe Lieberman, or in 2008 Sarah Palin and Joe Biden?

Heck, it looks like Dick Cheney is now ready to hit the campaign trail with Mitt Romney. He won't find Romney old-school like the Bushes, but in politics you love the one you're with.
