The Hill asked 97 members of the Senate if they’d be willing to serve as Vice-President, and more than a few of them were pretty amusing:
Sen. Bob Bennett (R-Utah)
“Of course. Big house, big car, not much to do. Why not?”Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.)
“Does that include any sports picks or anything like that? … I would certainly consider it.”Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.)
“Yes. Sign me up. I’ve been kidding people for years: The hours are better, the wages are just as good — whoever heard of a vice president getting shot at? — and it’s a great opportunity to travel. And actually since time has gone by, the job is robust … So sure. Anybody here would, if they’re going to be honest. The chances are slim to none. But I promise you, I would deliver all three of Delaware’s electoral votes.”Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idaho)
“I would say ‘No, Hillary.’ ”Sen. Judd Gregg (R-N.H.)
“No. I don’t like going to funerals.”Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa)
“No, I’d have Jon Stewart stand in for me. Jon Stewart. That’s my guy.”Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.)
“The chances of that are so remote that I’m more likely to be hit by an asteroid.”
Heh.
