Dave Hirsch:
That’s actually a pretty darn good question, and I don’t think my weak answers would suffice. But I’ll attempt to anyhow.
1. I miswrote when I said I’d put Petraeus in my Presidential lineup. Put Cain there instead.
2. Frankly, our bellicose-pacifist President hasn’t got a clue about the world, and while some of the Governors are great, they don’t have foreign policy experience.
3. Although I am indeed highly conservative (to be precise, a right-wing Reaganomics-slash-Bush Doctrine neoconservative), I am so sick of Obama that I’d even vote for Lieberman or McCain.
4. As Congress wages war, a military tiebreaker might help.
5. This one is funny, but… Petraeus looks like a President.
My ideal ticket would be Huckabee or Cain running with one of the Floridians. However, it would be a problem with Huckabee, as he is a resident of Florida.
