Douthat Right Thing?

The NYT's Ross Douthat in tomorrow's column surveys the GOP field for vice-president, dismissing everyone from Rubio to Condi Rice, and expresses concern about picking another risky Palin candidate.  He narrows it down to the usual four, kicks out Pawlenty and Ryan and says Rob Portman will probably get the nod--but he supports Bobby Jindal (despite the "risky" warnings) as he would add a bit of pizzazz.  Also he is monumentally passes the "ready to be President" test.  Despite his "Ichabod Crane" physique.  Yes, he wrote all of that.
