I’ll say it again: Fred Thompson/John Bolton 2008!!
If that isn’t the dream ticket, please tell me what is?
No to Bolton. He's a great guy but he is too connected to the Bush administration to be a wise choice. Better to pick someone who is outside the administration--and better known. The average Joe has never heard of him.
Also we want someone who will help us pick up at least one sizable state we would probably not get otherwise. Pawlenty would be a possibility and might even bring in a surrounding state or two.
