Honestly I don't think Rudy will have to spend much time thinking about these matters come February. From AP-
Giuliani pivoted from a question about potential picks for secretary of state to this: "Let me answer with the question of what you would look for in a vice president first -- again without any presumption that I'm going to be the nominee."Why not ask Dick Cheney to stay on as VP? The 22 amendment only applies to the President. Accept no imitations, bring back Cheney!In an answer that mentioned Cheney more than once, Giuliani said, "A vice president has to be a partner in the administration. The vice president has to know everything that's going on, just in case the vice president has to step in at a moment's notice," he said. He added that during a conversation with Cheney on Sept. 11, 2001, he felt the vice president "had a sense that he knew what he was doing."
Following his train of thought to cabinet picks, Giuliani left the door open in his administration for rivals like McCain, Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee and others currently battling him for the Republican nomination.
Just don't let Cheney go quail hunting is all I say.

Actually, though Rudy may not win, this is not a bad idea for candidates to share with possible voters. I would love to see what type of people, what issues they would support, how the economy and national security and illegal immigration all play into their ethos. It might help voters divide the group that is facing the public now. After all, the Prez is not the only thing voters should consider. How bout what House and Senate leadership there will be to provide economic and military outlays? The Prez, unless it is a Dem leftist, could not be home free with initiatives unless he could control Congress or at least one House in Congress. What guy would draw down ticket voters?
