Governor
Mitt Romney and Herman Cain.
That pairing, my friends, will kick the living crap out of Nerobama and Clueless Joe.

Good thing there are zero,zip, nada racists on the Right, huh?Cain Rubio. Have the left pissing themselves
There are racisits on both sides. A small insignificant number. But play the race card if you like? How's it been working out for your side?Good thing there are zero,zip, nada racists on the Right, huh?
I could see them trying to water it down to a 25% flat tax or something, or at least seeing if Congress would even lift their heads.Doesn't that mean Romney must endorse 9-9-9? Or that Cain will have to "water it down" for Mitt?
Somebody has to surrender something under a Romney/Cain ticket. My bet would be Cain, easily. BTW, Flat Tax is a sure way to insure the poor and middle class get burdened with the majority of the tax burden...a simple stroke of the pen can turn "income" into "business expenses" for the Wealthy or a few electrons across a fiber optics line can move income to the Caymans. ((Happy to discuss that more on a separate thread).I could see them trying to water it down to a 25% flat tax or something, or at least seeing if Congress would even lift their heads.
Typically a good bet. Biden was in in 2008, but got Veep. Cheney was never a candidate for Prez, but got Veep. Jack Kemp didn't run in 1996 and Gore though he had run in 1988 (with Rick Perry as his manager)...wasn't in 1992.None of the POTUS candidates will be the GOP VP nominee.
Another good point, BA....you're right. It would seem "stunt-like" especially since the GOP made such loud noises about "Dems supporting a black guy because he is black, but he has no experience" in 2008...much as the selection of Palin was.
however, i cannot see cain at the top of the ticket. he's a guy who has never won an election, anywhere, for anything. it would seem rash to place all your eggs in that basket.
i think someone who "dropped early" might have a better shot. Pawlenty more than huntsman. christie has already said he's not interested. Bachman would probably accept anything.
VP is the sort of role where you can hurt but not help. Biden didn't bring any mojo to the obama ticket. delaware has only trivial electoral votes, which obama was going to win anyway. and biden didn't even win the delaware primary earlier in the year.
republicans and democrats are both advised to either pick strong, national names that can "inherit" the white house after two terms, or a running mate from a swing state with lots of electoral votes.
no more quayles, palins, agnews, shrivers, or mondales, please. real candidates only should apply.
But again, brings up hypocrisy from Republican attacks in 2008....since Rubio has been in the Senate exactly as long as the President was in 2012.this is a guy who understands economics, and might represent the "new face" of conservativism . . . ethnic diversity, strong family values, human rights defender, and can play in the "walmart republican" game. he brings much more to the party than a palin or bachman. i'd pick condi rice over palin or bachman, for that matter
CB MAY have to "update" his Perfect Ticket now.Probably not.
