Judge Napolitano for VP?

@john1gun @AP4LP @Judgenap I've been racking my brain trying to think of the best VP pick for Austin, and the Judge is it.

The above exchange on Twitter between Johnny and me is more interesting for what it doesn't show.
I got one "like" on my comment, from Austin Petersen himself.

The "Judge" we were referring to is Judge Andrew Napolitano, the Fox News Judicial Analyst, whose show used to be produced by none other than Austin Petersen. They clearly know each other, so Austin's "like" might have been just a friendly jab at the Judge.

On the other hand, maybe he is trying to get the Judge as his vice president? Presidents will frequently choose veeps whom they know and respect: Obama's Joe Biden and Bush's Dick Cheney are just two recent examples.

On the third hand, perhaps the Napolitano pick is a done deal already, and Petersen is just waiting for the right moment to announce it? Maybe Napolitano told Petersen that he would agree to be Petersen's veep only if Petersen won the Libertarian nomination?

On the left foot (I ran out of hands), maybe Napolitano is only willing to be SCOTUS nominee for Petersen? Personally, I cannot think of a better replacement for Scalia than Napolitano.

On the right foot, maybe Napolitano is more interested in the Attorney General role? If that were his main interest, I have no doubt Petersen would accommodate him.

Napolitano has always been a constitutionalist/libertarian. The opportunity to work in the first Libertarian administration would be awfully tempting for him. I personally hope that Petersen offers him a job, and that Napolitano accepts.

On a side note, Napolitano is a MUCH better choice than William Weld! Napolitano comes with a lot more libertarian (small "L") credibility than Weld.
