This is what I think the ticket is likely to be if Governor Palin doesn't run.
I would be surprised to see Rubio jump into a VP role so quickly. I expect to see Rubio as the RNC Convention keynote to kick off the week in his home state of FL.
Rubio has an incredible career ahead and does not need to piggy back on the 2012 election.
If Perry is the candidate, I am actually hoping for Daniels as VP. Arguably the two best run states in the country. Two excellent chief executives who could pick Obama’s failures apart all of fall 2012 would be a great duo. I was strongly against Daniels as the candidate, but he’s got DC experience and state executive experience to be a great VP, without all the baggage of his moderate ways at the top of the ticket.
