Fantasy Politics: Petraeus for VP?
Yes, his name has been mentioned.
It's fun to dream.
Is this even possible? He's an active duty soldier in a time of war. I assume he can retire; but I also assume the army can draft him (or re-activate him, or whatever the correct term is) if he's needed... which, of course, he is.
In theory, he could run CENTCOM from the office of the Vice President. He would be the generals' superior civilian commander, after all. (If not automatically, then by presidential executive order.)
