Republican dream ticket

Every day, my opinion morphs on who would occupy a Republican dream ticket. I really liked Herman Cain until I watched him debate. I loved Michele Bachman's debate performance, but don't believe a woman can beat Obama. I love Palin, but believe she has less chance than Bachman to beat Obama. Newt is probably the smartest guy running, but he has too much baggage. The rest of the pack has no excitement generating charm. The best options for beating Obama are not  yet in the race. Huckaby could garner a broad cross-section of voters. And there are two dark horses in Florida with tremendous appeal, but neither have stated an intention to run.  I don't think Republicans can win without splitting the black vote, and that means a black man on the ticket with tremendous credentials and voter appeal. I'd pick a congressman from Florida over Herman Cain. I'd love to see Sarah Palin as Secretary of Interior, Newt as Secretary of State. I's also like to see Cain, Trump and Romney in the cabinet. Secretary of Defense is a tough one - I'm guessing Romney would do well there. And quite a few cabinet positions could profitably be abolished, along with all the "Czar" positions!
What say you?
