I like the Keating idea but having a little extra something like a VP from the southern tier would be good strategery to me to hold that region in place. No offense PHIKAPMOM, LOL!
Yes. If a more conservative candidate starts to pick up momentum and surpass Rudy, I would be just as happy to have Rudy in the VP spot. I just think it would be a great victory for us to take key blue states. At least we would have a decisive win rather than a squeaker like 2000. Taking states like NY, NJ, OH, PA and FL would be a real victory. Once he's in, if he doesn't meet the traditional Republican agenda as he is promising to do, we kick him out in 2012. It beats losing the WH to Hillary or Obama while the rats control both houses.
We are part of the south! :)
