I guess you can talk of Guliani being perceived as a mainstream "star" asset by some people; just as Powell used to be perceived.
On the the other hand, the movers and shakers within the administration - Cheney, Rumsfeld and, of course, Ashcroft - all have their own well known liabilities and controversies. If you say "Let's get rid of all these controversial figures and put together some kind of contrived centerist dream machine", then you're really taking the heart out of everything they've done the past four years, for better or worse.
I think Scipio makes a good point about "sticking with what they have" at the moment. That's their record, that's what they should run on.
