Interesting - Where do you think Mitt Romney would be in this scenario, with his Dad as a former President?

Under this scenario I see Romney beating Ted Kennedy by a small margin in 1994. He serves from 1995-2001, become Governor of Massachusetts in 2002 and serves until 2007. He is seen as the front runner for the nomination, but is beaten in an upset by Huckabbee who selects him to be his running mate.

And after reconsideration I'm changing 2012 from Daniels/Haley to Romney/Haley.
