It won't be:
- anyone who had a leadership role over economic or foreign issues in the Bush White House
- anybody who's served less than a full term
- any person that's extremely easy to caricature (see: what SNL did to Bobby Jindal after he delivered the SOTU Response).
- someone who will needlessly alienate moderates at the expense of placating conservatives
Romney needs someone with significant foreign policy experience to cover his weakness there, plus maybe some business experience to highlight that part of his message too. Anybody know of a decent telegenic Dubya-appointed Ambassador? Jon Huntsman would honestly be a decent pick, except for the "two-Mormon" thing.
