Men’s Vogue - and Lloyd Grove - dissect what really matters: The Veepstakes. (Cameos of Grover Norquist and Dan Senor to boot!)

“Who do you like?” Senor asked Norquist. “Maybe Condi,” Norquist answered.

And what’s a Veep story without Mike Huckabee? “It’s kind of like being asked to the prom. You don’t really call the captain of the football team and ask him would he take you.”

And a bonus: Karl Rove, says that whenever he sees a new unknown “strategist” on cable television, he e-mails Ken Mehlman, the former White House political director and ex-chairman of the Republican National Committee, and asks, “‘Have you ever heard of this person?’ And we e-mail each other back and forth and try to plug their names into Google to see where they’ve been strategists and nothing comes up.”

Now, who could they be talking about?
