Or Vice President. No disrespect to Mr. Cheney, but he is not likely to run in 2008 and the VP slot can be effectively used to groom a successor.
Thinking a bit further, how about Rice/Frist....would that ticket be brainy enough??? (By the way, the reference to the Iron Lady warms my heart considerably!)
I would suggest someone from the West. Perhaps Senator Jon Kyl of Arizona, who seems to be reliable enough.
Rice would be brilliant because in the debates Hillary could not pull her "hurt little woman" routine as she did on Rick Lazio. Plus it would thoroughly confuse the minority vote.
