I'm not sure he's that ambitious.

But he's normal, and has a cool name.

Lawyer, Marine, Pennsylvanian, former Congressman.

Forty-one years old. Pleasant to handsome appearance.

Uncontroversial. Of little interest to anyone compiling opposition research.

Who? you say.

Exactly. Under the radar. He just needs the party to lift him on its shoulders and present him to the voters.

Now, proceed to explain to me how I don't understand politics.
