Walker is in my opinion the only one on a national level. I know the love for Cruz or Paul but as of today neither will do more than excite the base. Walker can bring in the middle and lead us to a huge sweep.

I agree! The VP slot could then be used to introduce a more libertarian philosophy.

For regional balance, Rick Perry or (my favorite) Trey Gowdy would bring the South into play.

If Jeb Bush is the nominee, I vote third party.

no more Bushes. I couldn’t even tell you what primaries he’d win. the base wins primaries and he don’t have that.
I like Martinez from NM in a veep slot. She brings all a bunch of demographic positives.
I would have loved Palin but i know people who even right leaning dismiss her. I don’t know if her image ever gets rehabilitated across broad swathes of the country. I know shes got all the tools but one can’t go into a national race to win if the whole job is convincing people you have the smarts. Obama is an idiot but he was granted that without ever having to prove it. She has a different hurdle to meet.
