Last week, the Almighty expressed His displeasure over Paul Ryan's decision not to run for president by sending us an earthquake and a storm. But Ryan still refuses to reconsider. So we at THE WEEKLY STANDARD have put dreams of Ryan-Rubio 2012 on hold, and have turned our attention to other possible GOP tickets.
As Michael Warren pointed out earlier today, Rick Perry now seems to be the Republican frontrunner. Who might his running mate be? Obvious possibilities are Ryan or Rubioor Mitch Daniels (a successful Midwestern governor who's not part of the mess in D.C. but who could reassure some voters with his serious federal government experience).

Care to explain? Or just trolling?
Hardly trolling, Hawk.
New Mexico needs the new governor right where she is.
I say this as an ex-New Mexican who was happy with Gary, but utterly dissatisfied with the grease ball that followed.
Still don’t understand how Susanna would disgrace the national ticket.
Most of us here think she’s pretty good.
I never implied that Susanna would disgrace the ticket. I stated that for now she needs to stay in Santa Fe.
Sorry if I misunderstood this:
“No thanks. Do a little checking first before you disgrace the national ticket with the new Governor of New Mexico!”
