Rick Perry?

Oh, Rick. There once was a time when the hopes of the republican party may very well have rested on you. Then you forgot your lines, and bungled your debates, and could only remember two of three targets departments for destruction. Rick's charisma could sustain him through the campaign, but he's too inconsistent in smarts to really have a shot in the general election. He is, however, a decent fund-raiser and would probably carry Texas strong (except Austin) and a good chunk of the south so... VP candidate? we Shall see.
