You must be reading the Dallas Morning News. Rick Perry would win governor again if he chose to run, but I don’t think he will.
I’m actually not for that ticket. I don’t think Perry would accept the veep post and it’s a weak position which he’s often said.
The only reason for veep is to gain some vote so your theory that he would get Perry votes anyway is valid.
I’m hoping that Perry gets an offer for a meaningful job like Secretary of Energy. He just might take it.
Your recommendation to have Perry as Secretary of Energy is excellent. This country is on the verge of a energy boom, and getting Obama and his minions out of the way is just part of the job. Overturning anti-energy regulations dating back to Clinton and earlier is crucial as well.
FWIW, Santorum would make a good Secretary of Health and Human Services. Sarah Palin to the Department of the Interior. Michelle Bachmann to the Department of Education. Cain to the Secretary of the Treasury. I can't think of any Cabinet position for Paul, Christie, or Trump. None of the Presidential contenders or wannabes have enough experience for State, except maybe Huntsman, and I fear he would be another Powell. Ditto for Defense, though non-contender Allen West might be a good choice.
