I nominate Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice, in no particular order for VP and P. Awesome ticket, IMO.

I actually thought the republicans would have won if they'd chosen Powell as VP this time around. But with things the way they were going, I'm sure they purposefully threw the election with their VP choice.

Now if they could just get Palin's twin to run on their ticket:

Tina Fey

I'd schwing from Demo to Rep for her.

Oh but she's just a comedienne turned actress. What qualifies her as presidential material?

What indeed...

But in all seriousness, a Fey-Rice or Rice-Fey ticket would rule. I'd sleep easily with either of these ladies at the helm.
