They're both the kind of thing that would probably disqualify a VP pick, but there they are at the top of the ticket. Just about any VP would want to come out of the campaign with a higher chance of being president some day, and I think there's a good chance this will make it worse for anyone associated with him. Any pick will have to go in with a plan on how to disown Romney in the future.
