I'd support the Jeb Bush/John Cornyn ticket, but it doesn't seem to be an option this cycle.
I said it on another thread, and I'll somewhat paraphrase it again here.
Republicans are almostly surely going to have to choose between Guiliani and McCain.
Folks like Hunter, Paul, Tancredo, Brownback, and the rest are going nowhere fast. At best, those guys will each have their supporters at this forum who can throw mud at each other for entertainment purposes, but that's about it. They'll have about as much impact on the 2008 race as Dennis Kucinich did in 2004.
McCain is 70 years old and has had several recurrences of malignant melanoma on his face and arms. In addition, he's mentally unbalanced and unstable. It's going to be Giuliani and people need to suck it up and get ready to face the real enemy that is Hillary Clinton.

"The top four candidates for the Republican nomination can’t win. Rudy Giuliani, John McCain....Romney with all of the flip-flops on abortion and Newt Gingrich, who I don't think gets into it. That leaves a cast of lesser-known Republicans in line for a surprise run toward the nomination. I think that the Republican nominee is going to be one of these minor leaguers: Tancredo, Huckabee, Brownback, Gilmore from Virginia, Duncan Hunter from California....it's like the pitching rotation is all going to be injured at the World Series and the Triple –A pitching staff, one of them is going to pitch the opening game."
