Musgrave for President!

The scenario seems plausible enough–a battered Republican Party, realizing that John McCain can’t win in November, pulls a switcheroo at the GOP National Convention and ends up with a new candidate instead.

The Huffington Post outlines this potential scenario, which might seem credible until this list appears at the end of the story of possible replacement candidates:

Here’s a list of names. Some you know, some you don’t. But each of them knows their name is in play. Among them —

Condoleezza Rice (Secretary of State)

Colin Powell (fmr Sec. of State)

Marilyn Musgrave (Colorado Congresswoman)[Pols emphasis]

Mitt Romney (fmr Massachusetts Governor)

Mike Huckabee (fmr Governor of Arkansas)

Charlie Crist (Florida Governor)

Tim Pawlenty (Minnesota Governor)

Bobby Jindal (Louisiana Governor)

Mark Sanford: (Governor of South Carolina)

John Thune (Senator from South Dakota)

Dick Lugar (Senator from Indiana)

Chuck Hagel (Senator from Nebraska)

Michael Bloomberg (NYC Mayor)

Musgrave is in danger of losing her own congressional seat here in Colorado, but she would be a better Presidential candidate than McCain?
