To be honest, I don't think he has much. I expect him to run a Schwarzenegger type campaign, appealing to moderates and the Hollywood crowd as non-religious right, more moderate, GOPer. For the rest he will run as the anti-Hillary and that will be enough. The Christian right is going to vote for anything with a GOP box next to it, since they have been losing ground and influence after 2006. Which is actually good for the GOP.
George Bush offered the same little amount of qualifications, asides from being a Governor, and merely was the anti-Gore or anti-Kerry which was enough for most voters.
Look for Romney as VP. That's my bet: a Thompson/Romney ticket.
If they can convince Gore to run, they've almost assured their victory. Both Gore and Nader hate Hillary with a passion. It won't be too hard to get them to run against her.
