True, Geraldine Ferraro had noting to do with Mondale's disasterous defeat.  Mondale saw to that on his own very well. 

I believe Mondale knew he was going down big time, and that he wanted to leave something behind in his political legacy, part of which was the first Presidential nominee of a major party to nominate a woman for Vice President.

So he nominated Ferraro, nothing more than a token nomination, no more qualified to be Vice President than fly to the moon, nonetheless, Mondale did make history by being the first Presidential nominee of a major party to nominate a woman for Vice President.

There is of course Condi Rice, however, she would be seen as too liberal for the Republican rank and file.

How about a ticket of Mitt Romney and Gale Norton?

The last time two sitting Governors ran and won for President and Vice President was 1912, when Democrats Governor Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey and Governor Thomas Marshall of Indiana were elected.

Republican Governor Thomas Dewey of New York tried it twice, with his running mate in 1944 Governor John Bricker of Ohio and with his running mate in 1948 Governor Earl Warren of California, of course, losing both times.
