He really could. At the top of that list would be governor Palin of Alaska - but she just had her 5th child (and the baby was born premature and with disabilities). Another pick could be Condolezza Rice but if I remember correctly she said she would turn down an offer if it came. the only other female choice I can think of would be Elizabeth Dole who I actually like and have met in person (during the '96 campaign she visited the Georgia Academy For The Blind while it was holing a summer camp I was attending). I actually shook her hand and she was very polite and gracious despite the fact that I told her that if I was voting age I would be voting for Perot. She looked at me and smiled and said "I am very proud of you because you are already interested in the political process at your young age even though you would not vote for my husband." Needless to say I was disappointed when she failed to get the GOP's nomination in 2000.
