Conjunction Junction, what's your function?
Hooking up two boxcars and making 'em run right.
Milk and honey, bread and butter, peas and rice.
Hey that's nice!
Not sure that anyone outside of Colorado is discussing Hick as a potential VP. Today's WaPo has a pretty extensive summary of potential VP picks for both Hillary (27 names) and Trump (35 names) and the only Colorado name on that made the cut is Ken Salazar.

Salazar backed the XL pipeline. That will earn a Bernie Veto. Plus Hillary will go for someone under 60.
Bernie doesn't get a veto and a hispanic would be great. But the age thing, yeah, a problem.
And the fact that Salazar is to HRC's right. The last thing she, a centrist candidate, needs is a Conservadem.
I like Salazar. I voted for Salazar. He was a great statewide candidate for Colorado in the political landscape in which Dems were finding their way at the time. That time is past. HRC needs someone younger and at least center left, certainly not center right. Nobody anywhere near the right is going to vote for HRC. Why the hell bother?
What we need is for Bernie's voters to join up. Salazar does nothing for us there. He's also all wrong for the attack dog duties of a running mate and a less inspiring speaker would be hard to find. When he ran for the Senate nomination even we Salazar delegates had to admit Mike Miles had it all over Salazar as an inspiring speaker.
No Salazar. No Hick. Is anyone outside of Colorado taking either of these guys seriously as VP material?
No. No one is taking either of them seriously as VP pics outside the state (and most inside the state aren't either).
Salazar's future in politics, if he want's one, is likely to attempt to succeed Hick as Governor.
