Alright -- if that was true, and the country really did split along the red-blue divide, who would be the top candidates for each "nation?" Who would you want to rescue from the other side of the border (good blue-staters that would be stuck in Jesusland)? If the swing states were given their own nation, who would their candidates be?
My thoughts -- and the likely roles they would play in the campaign:
RED: Jeb Bush -- Establishment candidate with the early backing, but no momentum Tom Delay -- Congressional hack who never gets the campaign off the ground Sean Hannity -- Media personality who connects, but ultimately falls short Ralph Reed -- Young, charismatic leader of a top Right-wing interest group Zell Miller -- Crazy, old ranting madman
BLUE: Hillary Clinton -- The "Jeb Bush" of the Blue team Barbara Boxer -- Ideologically in line, but the title of Senator can only hurt Michael Moore -- The Paul Revere of the Blues Andrew Stern -- Um... Charismatic leader of a top Left-wing interest group Howard Dean -- The darling of the revolutionaries who seceeded from Jesusland
Any other suggestions?
