COMMENTARY | Rick Perry has two presidential 2012 Republicans debates under his belt and is the clear frontrunner in the race. Sure, Michele Bachmann and liberal pundits will try to dim his rising star with sound bites incorrect facts, but win the nomination he will. Fiscal conservatives are already looking past the top of the ticket and wondering who will join Perry on his quest to restore prosperity in America.
Vice Presidential Options
* Herman Cain. The fiscally responsible job creator is an excellent choice to run on the 2012 ticket with Perry. The man has a straight-shooter and no-nonsense personality like the governor and a solid job performance record. Cain understands how to run a business successfully and the omnipotent role the private sector must play to turn the economy around. The candidates share a similar view on the current unsustainable spending conducted on behalf of the Obama administration and the need to secure our borders.
* Mitt Romney. While the two candidates share similar views on many issues, Romney would probably not like playing second fiddle in Perry's band. The recent debates illustrated a willingness to highlight his forceful side, but the innate character differences between the two men might not mesh well during the campaign. Romney has many positive attributes but comes across as more of an establishment candidate than Perry and would do little to attract staunch fiscal conservatives and tea party members.
* Newt Gingrich. The experience and amazingly strong historical memory Gingrich possesses would make him a prime choice to work somewhere in the administration. Unfortunately, the candidate is viewed as a career Republican politician by too many voters to be an asset on the 2012 ticket. The guidance and intelligence Gingrich could bring to oval office conversations would be beneficial to Perry. Personally, I would love to see Newt become the next press secretary. He would bring off-the-cuff honesty to the podium like the country has never seen before.
* Chris Christie. Stop hoping, it's just not going to happen. Christie was prompted and prodded relentlessly to enter the race and refused to skip out on the commitment he made to New Jersey voters. Christie would likely be a frontrunner if he entered the race even at a very late date, but he does not have the type of personality which could exist in a second-tier position.
