Rudy Giuliani Watch: Rudy and Huckabee To Be 2008 GOP Presidential Ticket?

Republican presidential hopefuls, from left, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.; former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani; former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee; Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif.; Sen. Sam Brownback R-Kan.; former secretary of Health and Human Services Tommy Thompson; former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney; former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore; Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo.; and Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas; are seen during the Republican debate at the University of South Carolina’s Koger Center for the Arts, in Columbia, S.C.

Richard Baehr over at Real Clear Politics makes the case for a Giuliani – Huckabee ticket:

On the GOP side, assuming the nominee is Rudy Giuliani, he could improve his appeal to social conservatives and Southerners by picking for his VP nominee a candidate such as Mike Huckabee of Arkansas. That would likely secure that state’s 6 Electoral votes, and might enhance his margin in other Southern states as well. But the GOP nominee will be favored in all the Southern states to begin with.

Flap thinks this is a plausible choice, assuming that Condoleezza Rice is unavailable. Rumors have it that she plans to return to California and run for Governor in 2010.

On the Democrat side, Flap has always maintained it would be Hillary and Bill Richardson.
