Interesting information regarding election 2004.

[coloradodem2005]

I went to a Dean meetup tonight and somebody was telling me that Cheney will not be on the Bush '04 ticket. I even heard that Colorado Governer B.O. is on a short list for Vice-Presidential candidate for that ticket.


The other rumor is that Jeb Bush is looking to seek the '08 presidential nomination, and that his son George P. Bush will seek the presidency in 2016

1. The first one sounds solid

I buy that Cheney could be dropped. Don't see many Cheney fans. The man looks evil. Arnold, though? It's possible. And wouldn't that buy the idiot vote.

The second I don't even want to contemplate.

2. Arnold is not eligible.

"But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States. " -- the XIIth Amendment to the U.S. Consitution

3. Ridge is a logical choice.

He is tough looking, and runs homeland security.

They'd hafta conservative-up his previous stance on abortion, but it is possible.

13. And incompetent. Very important.

Impeachment insurance.

4. oh please bush administration

fuck up and run bush/ashkroft, and cheney is stepping down cause he got halliburton the no bid contracts, but i see it prolly being bish/rove 04

5. Not a chance.

I doubt if Rove wants even a ceremonial job like VP. He wields much more power being the kingmaker than he would being the king's successor.

6. I think Cheney will run

He may not finish out the term and it does make some sense that the 2008 frontrunner would be elevated to VP. Owens is going through a divorce (I read somewhere) so that would make him a bit messy right now.

I could see Jeb running in '08 but that's pretty risky given the obvious Bush fatigue that will prevail. George P needs to run for something else first and 2016? Way too far ahead for this brain.

7. I've been saying this

since 2000...they're going to keep it in the family, all the way down the line..You don't think they're priming and primping them for nothing..LOL...but seriously, keep your eyes opened on jeb and the young kid...he's watching closely and learning the ropes!

8. The only way Uncle Dick is off the ticket is if the Big'un sends him down

to his eternally warm "undisclosed location" :evilgrin:

As for the future candidacy of Jebbie and Georgie III, if even Republicans are so mind numbingly fucking stupid to pick another member of the first family of fascism after 2 Bush administrations marked by economic disasters and pointless wars for profit, then it's indeed time for Texas to secede from the Union, and anyone supporting the BCE can move there with them.

11. Would The BFEE Bother With Elections in 2008?

or just appoint der shrub as Resident for Life.

9. Never happen

No upside. Vice-Presidents don't matter.

[FrenchieCat]

10. This VP does matter...

as he is the one that pulls the strings....

probably get lying Colin Powell, Dean's hero!

[spindoctor]

12. Halliburton owes him one...or two

I'm sure they'll receive him with open arms.

How's his health these days, anyway?

Jeb Bush for President? No way. And George P Bush? No! no! no! There has to be a law somewhere about three Presidents with the same first and last names. Middle initials just don't cut it.
