I wouldn't be too surprised if we have a President running as the incumbent in 2008.
I'm not so disillusioned to think that Bush is going to prop himself up as president for life.
They're much more devious than that, THEY will simply get another mouthpiece
My statement could also be true if Bush leaves office before his term is over and whoever happens to be the Vice President at that time ascends to the Presidency. (see 1972, the last time a Republican president with questionable ethical practices was reëlected during wartime while the country was strongly divided)
I don't think anyone would vote for Cheney, and I don't think the republican congress would impeach their golden boy for ANYTHING.
I don't think Bush will be impeached and I don't think Cheney will be Vice Pres much longer.
Or alive, for that matter?
I don't think Bush or Cheney are in very good health. I wonder if Bush is going to have his physical now that the election is over. I guess he still has to wait for the Electoral College.
It would be good that after a while someone archives this. That way in 4 years we'll see who made a fool of themselves or who looks like a sage.
Either that or it will be used against eest in a court of law.
I'd rather like to see Hillary run for office in 2008. In my opinion she'd make an excellent candidate. She was an admirable first lady during her stay in the white house, and has been just as worthy in her position as senator. In truth, I don't believe the opposition has a candidate of matching calibur, at least at present moment, that they could present.
However, though some facts lean in her favor (such as the proportion of women voters to men, and -oddly enough- the publicity she has recieved from her husbands scandal, though this will also work against her), the recent turnout of overwhelming votes for President Bush is a formidable tide against her, speaking to the extreme technical of things. It will take the course of events the next four years bring to get a more clear view of the chances she has. If it runs well under Republican control with little incident, I believe there will not be enough momentum to turn the tide.I hope she does run in spite of it all.
The democrats can win the election of 2008 regardless of what Bush does in the next four years if they can make more democrats instead of attempting to sway Republicans away. If the Democrats can find one voice to represent them and their base, then the playing field will again be level. The big question here is "If".
Take care all.
I agree with that. The party doesn't seem very strong at its core, as it stands.
I think Obama can be that guy but he isn't ready for 2008. 2012 he would be ready...maybe he can still be the voice and just not run for pres...vice pres :)
Let's not forget the Kim Campbell debacle.
I just heard that Jesse Ventura would attempt to run as a democrat. Is this a good thing
