Nikki Haley’s sequence problem

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley demands she will not be the Republican vice presidential nominee this season, going so far as to dispute that she would convert down the job if it were provided to her.

But the send may have traveled the world on that provide a couple several weeks returning when her lieutenant governor reconciled in the experience of an indictment.undefined

No, the show was not politically destructive to Haley; the now-ex-lieutenant governor, Ken Ard, was chosen independently from her.

But it does increase a unpleasant sequence problem for her as it concerns the vice presidential giveaways.

In the awaken of Ard’s resignation, condition Chair for economic council Pro Tem Glenn McConnell became lieutenant governor. That indicates he would be in range to substitute Haley if she were to become the GOP’s vice presidential nominee and the GOP admission were to win.

This is a problem for several reasons:

1. Haley and McConnell never get along, and she would successfully be passing her job to someone who she has clashed with consistently. That may not be a deal-breaker, but it’s a aspect.

2. McConnell would be the unusual governor who was not chosen state-wide. Again, not actually a deal-breaker, but it’s hardly perfect, either.

3. McConnell is perhaps best-known nationwide as a Accomplice record strong who was captured truly dressed in Accomplice common garb and status next to two African-American participants who showed up to be clothed as slaves.

McConnell just didn't say sorry for attire as a Accomplice common, and he’s still a well-known politician in Southern region Carolina (where the condition Chair for economic council chief executive is probably more highly effective than the governor).

Despite those three hits, McConnell’s advisors jeer at the concept that any of it will effect Haley’s vice presidential possibilities.

“I very seriously question GOP commanders would aspect in Glenn McConnell when determining the best operating friend to help Glove Mitt romney take the Bright House,” said Wesley Donehue, an Online advisor for McConnell.

But even if it’s not a big cope in the Palmetto State, it could create a throbbing headache for the nationwide Republican Celebration to have one of its governors all over the web clothed as a Accomplice common. Which is not exactly the forward-looking Republican Celebration that GOP strategists want to existing to the community.

We’ve been doubtful for a while that Haley will be a top competitor for the vice presidential nomination, but the lieutenant governor problems returning in her home condition seems to create her an even more impossible choose.
