Jeb Bush/J.C. Watts
You would have to assume that Jeb carries every state that Dubya carried. Being Catholic, (a real one, not like Kerry) Jeb would also have a better chance at taking WI, MN, MI, and NH. It would also help strengthen his margins in IA, NM, AZ, and CO, and shave the margins down in places like IL, and the North East.
The inclusion of J.C. Watts (a very charismatic, conservative Af-AM) would help put IL even more into play and could help shave of the NYC vote from Dems in NY. His being on the ticket would also help in places like MD and NJ.
Jeb's Columbian born wife, and his fluency in Spanish, could very well negate any potential VP candidacy of Richardson. Jeb's Latino connections could shave the margins down somewhat in CA.
I figure that a well run campaign could net the GOP 40-45 states.
