Trump picks Pence

According to early rumors, GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump has selected Indiana Governor Mike Pence as his vice president. So who is this guy?

Here are some news stories and editorials about Pence:

NBC News:

Politico:
How Mike Pence embraced Obamacare: He took the Medicaid money but attached conservative strings to the program.

Washington Post:

RealClearPolitics:
Does Pence Help Trump?

In my opinion, Pence is the "anti-Trump": A mildly interesting conservative who isn't afraid to ruffle a few feathers now and then, but usually stays the conservative course. I won't call him good or bad yet, but he is definitely not what I would have expected from Trump. But he seems like a decent choice based on initial impressions.
