A Perry/Walker ticket with either in the top spot would be hard to beat. Two successful governors versus any Dem. Perry brings a lot of money and political dynamism to the game. Walker’s brilliant and proven.

Reagan really came into his own as governor of California. It was there, in California’s huge and dynamic economy, that business leaders and money men tempered their opinion of him. Walker and Perry both have that, but Texas is a giant compared to tiny Wisconsin. It would give the ticket good balance.

Remember that we can’t win unless we get 270 EC votes.
