In light of recent revelations

[ksmith]

Given that when they smell blood, the press can actually do its job...

Does anyone out there think they could survive a real VP-level vetting? Or would you take a pass, either because you wouldn't want the intrusion or because there's stuff in your past that wouldn't pass muster (you don't need to say which, of course)?

Depends on whether they’re doing their job on reporting real scandals or just picking whatever is controversial. For instance, there’s no way the right wing would ever vote for me, no matter how many good economic policies I proposed, because I’m a mostly-out-of-the-broom-closet pagan and therefore evil no matter how much it qualifies me to want to protect everyone’s religious freedom. (I use “mostly” because we didn’t actually make the pagan symbolism in the wedding explicit, to spare the sensibilities of my wife’s relatives. They thought it was just a pirate-themed wedding, and didn’t notice that all the talk of the sun and the sand and the sea and the wind was creating a ritual circle...)
