Best Republican ticket for '12?

If Obama looks unbeatable:  Gingrich/Pence
If Obama looks beatable:  Romney/Pence

I don't think Romney would accept being anyones V.P. especially Huckabee's. He said several times he had no interest in being V.P. as did Huckabee. There is no way there will be a Romney Huck combo and I already predicted Huck won't be nominated for President by the GOP. Even if he were a Huck Romney combo would be unlikely cause Huck hates Romney's guts. Plus there is a chance Romney may not run at all in 2012 especially if some info I just heard about his wife turns out to be true.

He explicitly said he wanted to be McCain's runningmate.

And what did you hear about his wife?

If Republicans actually want to win? Chafee/Snowe

Yes, keeping 90% of the base away from the polls is the winning strategy.

And what would they have to argue about in the debates?

how about Romney/McGillicuddy?

Mack isn't a leader in the House.  And if he moves to the Senate, it would be too soon.

Stanford/Romney.

Stanford really is a libertarian, I don't think he actually cares that much about social issues, but since he is from the South all (Republican) Southerners will vote for him, even the religious right.

Romney is a wink to the moderates and traditionally blue states.
