Dark Horse recommendation: Heather Wilson
New Mexico Representative for around 10 years.
May be considering running for senate/
She just published an excellent article on the state of our graduate education: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/01/21/AR2011012104554.html
AF Academy Grad
Rhodes Scholar - got D Phil there vs the normal master’s degree obtained by most of the Rhodes types.
Brilliant and personable.
She’d have to be dead for ten years in order for her IQ to drop to only 10x that of the Obamaloon.
Obviously very smart and has a good background, but her record makes her seem more wonkish than presidential. A good VP pick, perhaps.
