I think Palin should Secretary of Energy, if that position still exists, or head the new ESA to replace the EPA. I think Sarah needs some more time to bulk up her policy credentials before running on the presidential ticket again. She was smart personally to resign and spend time doing media and entertainment to make money in these years, but she needs to be more serious for a while before joining another ticket.
I used to think Santorum would be a good V.P., but it seems like he’s going to need more practice taking the heat before he’s ready for that. Maybe this is why he lost in 2006. The Democrats specifically targeted him then like they never had before, and maybe he couldn’t handle the attention.
I think we need to take a closer look at John Kasich for V.P. He has the rust belt, blue collar appeal from a swing state like Ohio and he has been shown to be a very good communicator during his guest hosting gigs on FOX. He was a big conservative name in Newt’s ‘90s Congress and has been pushing the conservative agenda in Ohio, although he got outflanked by the libs on the union vote unfortunately. Going for a Hispanic or woman would also be good strategically of course, but I just don’t know of any candidates ready for prime time in that regard.
Great picks! Looks like the A-Team to me. What a contrast to what we have now. Pro-Americans vs. anti-Americans. Why are the polls with the candidates against Obama even close?
