Allow me to rephrase. So long as it's next man up, so-to-speak, it bothers me much less than hand selecting a candidate who is polling well enough to beat him. It comes across much less like a power play and more like a legitimate attempt to replace a doddering old man. Yes, he should have been primaried. Yes, this should have been made public much sooner. Yes, they are subverting the process to a degree. It just bothers me much less if it's the VP who gets the nod.
