The way the polls are going now, I think it more likely that Herman Cain comes out on top and Mitt or Rick has to exchange their fund raising prowess for the 2nd spot on the ticket. Herman would have to take it. He needs the money and he's no spring chicken. Reagan was 68 during the 1980 election. Herman Cain will be 70 in 2016.
Even the great Ronald Reagan had to pick a RINO for the VP slot to unite the party and win.

Of the two I’d prefer Perry but is there no third choice out there that is A) from a swing state and B) is sitting on a mountain of cash and C) not currently running for President?

I think your analysis is 100% correct, but I think the RINO VP on the ticket will be someone with a strong defense background (I posted a possiblity earlier with a barf alert).
Romney will end up being secretary of commerce or something like that (where he can run again). He’ll need to be drawn in, or he’ll do to Cain what he did to McCain/Palin—undercut the campaign while claiming he’s supporting it.
Perry doesn’t bring anything to the table for Cain, as I can’t see Obama winning Texas.
