sorry but im old enough to remember when democrats thought nominating a decorated military veteran would neutralize the right's attack machine and nope, that didn't work either. 
we'll nominate a two-term vice president! he's a known quantity from a succesful administration. surely the right wing attack machine can't caricature him!
sorry but its just the same story every time. quit allowing republicans to veto who you support. whoever you back, just back them and don't let nonsense like "the republicans will attack her/him" drive your decision-making. theyll attack everybody. and almost all the same way.
