That would depend on the question. Like name another ignorant Texan that makes George Bush look smart?

No, Rick Perry would be terrible. But, if the economy just stays the same or gets worse, I'm afraid Obama won't be re-elected. Perhaps he needs a viable centrist challenger? To be primaried?

Cheney Wonders: What Would Hillary Do? By ELIZABETH A. HARRIS thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com It has become a popular refrain for Democrats bemoaning a president who has spent the summer slamming into one political road block after another: If Hillary Rodham Clinton had won the party’s nomination and the general election in 2008, would she have been a more effective president? On Sunday morning, that sentiment was echoed by an unlikely source, former Vice President Dick Cheney, who suggested on “Fox News Sunday” that yes, in some ways, perhaps she might have been. “She might have been easier for some of us who are critics of the president to work with,” Mr. Cheney told the program’s host, Chris Wallace. “I have a sense that she’s one of the more competent members of the current administration, and it would be interesting to speculate about how she might to perform were she to be president.” Mr. Cheney, who is making television appearances to promote his new memoir, continued: “But I don’t want to be the position of endorsing Hillary Clinton. That might be the kiss of death for her.” Of course, it is impossible to know how Mrs. Clinton would have handled a stubborn employment problem or a powerful Republican opposition, or what Mr. Cheney might have said about her now had she become president. Nonetheless, Mr. Cheney, doing his best impression of an armchair political analyst, said he would want to see Mrs. Clinton, who is now secretary of state, challenge her boss for the Democratic nomination in 2012. “You wouldn’t discourage it?” Mr. Wallace asked. “No,” Mr. Cheney said. “Certainly not.”
