It’s likely to be Thompson-Romney or Romney-Thompson. Ticket balancing.

Thompson-Romney would be good. It could well beat any Dem ticket. Plus it gives Romney 4-8 years to groom and learn. I also like Thompson-Hunter. Both IMHO would beat a Hillary-Obama ticket or any other Dem ticket. Thompson-Hunter or Thompson-Romney would put strong leadership at the top and guidance throughout the chain.

I think Hunter in the Senate as VP would be better than an old fashioned bull whip. I can even say that Hunter as SECHLS or SECDEF would be excellent too.

I don't know that I would deem Rudy SECSTATE material - might be another Albright. Possibly AG if he is still as tenacious as he was years ago. Romney would make a better SECSTATE than Rudy. Romney might even be good as SECTREAS or SECCOMMERCE.

I could even see Huckabee as SECHHS, SECLABOR, SECHUD or SECINTERIOR. SECVA maybe Gen Pace. Most of the other GOP Presidential candidates I have no use for. Tancredo is still needed in House, especislly if Hunter not there. I believe some Senators would be good in cabinet positions (Sessions, Cornyn, Inhofe, Coburn, Dole) but then take them from the Senate and it could be a body without a conscience. Others like McConnell, McCain, Kyl, Gramham and Lott might need to go home and set out a while - a long while.

This 'go along to get along' with the Dems attitude that seems to have infected the GOP Senators needs to be excised and quarantined. Our House Republican need to start speaking up more also, not just Tancredo.

Except that Fred Thompson has said he is not at all interested in the VP spot. If he runs it will be for the top position. I would love to see a Thompson/Hunter ticket!

Correct. Or Reagan-Bush.

A good thing about Rudy in the No. 2 slot is that he’d be too old to run for office in 8 (really 10) years.

No fan of Rudy -— BUT he’s no lightweight -— AND he’d have crossover appeal. Yes, one heartbeat and all that, but that has happened, what, twice/three times in US history?
