The case for Rudy is obvious.
The case for Ridge is that he is moderate from a swing state.
This is also the case for Thompson.
The case for Condie Rice is that she is a widely respected minority.
The case for George Allen is likeability, plus he nails down increasingly liberal Virginia.
The case for Taft is the same as that for Ridge and Thompson.
Franks is a Wildcard, and so is Baker. He'd choose Franks if he wants to reaffirm his Iraq policy, and Baker if he wants to back away.
He choses Taft it pretty much secures a Kerry win in Ohio
