Should Poe run for VP?

Should Sen. Grace Poe defer a presidential candidacy and go for the vice-presidency? Advisers and allies urging a Malacañang bid worry that her current top survey ranking may no longer be around for the 2022 presidential polls, so she should make a run for No. 1 next year.

Besides presuming to predict the unknowable future, that view seems to go against common sense. After all, six years to prepare for a presidential contest seems more conducive to victory than scrambling to craft, bankroll and implement a nationwide campaign and a credible program of government in just ten months.
