Now that you mention it, as I sat listening to Thompson this morning, I remembered his health history and wondered who he would pick for veep.

That is the ticket I want to see, or Thompson/Tancrado would work too

“I’ll vote for Thompson if Hunter becomes his running mate.”

Impossible. Surely you have heard of balancing the ticket? Thompson will be thought of as quite conservative by the majority of the electorate. Did Reagan pick a conservative for VP? No, he did not, he picked a Rockyfeller Republican.

Bush II ran as a compassionate (moderate) conservative, and picked a strong conserative with a lot of experience to balance his lack of same.

Rudy, Romney or Huckabee would pick a guy like Hunter. Fred would probably look for a candidate who could bring in a big state, and be seen as moderate.

Hunter will be up for a top cabinet position.

Yes, I know, you don’t like any of this at all.

Otherwise we'll put you down for Hillary.

Oh and thanks for the last congressional election, too!

Say what you want, at least you're not a pragmatist.
