2. And they will turn to a unifier, not a divider:
Jeb Bush.

4. I think you are right
And I think they do need one.

That's the problem with getting power, your base actually expects you to accomplish stuff - and after 8 years, well, they are realizing that the fat cats and the church types have different ideas about what is important.

3. I am terrified that they will not relinquish the WhiteHouse. They will
Edited on Sat Mar-11-06 11:25 AM by BrklynLiberal
lie, cheat, steal...as they did to gain it in the first place.
They will do whatever it takes to keep control of the government.
They will not allow a mere election to take it away from them.

I am worried that they have manipulated every branch of the government, at virtually every level to ensure that they cannot lose.

I am very scared.

5. there are no real primaries on either side

Iowa and NH choose along with the media. The nominiees are chosen before any one who casts a vote with a hand of color or lives in an urban area votes.
