What's this I hear of Running Mates?

For some reason it showed up on a couple blogs today (here, here).

As it happens, I ran through the analysis a comple months ago and, for various reasons, concluded Tommy Thompson to be a good candidate. Though Gov. Huckabee would be wonderful if we're looking for an heir apparent (though I almost can't imagine the GOP winning 5 straight elections).

I tend to dismiss the idea of Gov. Bush running for veep. Why bother? It really wouldn't help his stature within the party and might even do more harm than good to the ticket at this point.
