Quigley: Petraeus Would Make Fine VP Under Perry

Texas Gov. Rick Perry may have just entered the Republican presidential campaign Saturday, but already speculation has begun as to who might serve as vice president in a Perry presidency. Free-Market News Network contributor Bernie Quigley suggests new CIA Director Gen. David Petraeus for the job.

 

In a blog appearing on The Hill, he wrote, “Petraeus would be a good fit for VP in a Rick Perry administration. It would enhance the states’ rights position Perry emphasizes in his book, ‘Fed Up! Our Fight to Save America From Washington.’ A president’s first job is to run the military. She or he must also secure the borders and deliver the mail. The rest is up for grabs.”
