A. Compelling combination of unimpeachable integrity, name ID and strong record. Her Democratic colleagues love her.

B. Good - not great. I just think the votes are in the north. Guadagno needs to go to Bergen, but I do like Allen.

C. Fair pick, but there's not much Guadagno can do. This election is very nearly too heavy a lift for the NJGOP.

D. Bad choice. Too liberal. Guadagno will need a true conservative on the ticket to truly galvanize Republicans. That's not Allen.

F. Wake me up when it's 2018.
