Secrecy will be vital concerning the alternate however. I don't want to be seen as just a fake candidate, getting by on my good looks while somebody else waits in the wings to take my place. The alternate should be picked by you, since they will ultimately be your VP if I have to bow out.
I think we'll be OK but I'll call Gretchen Wilson and see if she's cool to wait in the wings. Dang I bet she's too young! Ann Coulter, how old is she?
