'which will be worse for republicans; for Bush to tread water until November, or to just resign now and get it over with.'

I seriously think that this conversation must be going on somewhere in Washington.

then we could have a new president in weeks.

The Republicans cannot afford to go down with the SS Chimpie.

2. Cheney? OMG.

3. IMO, Cheney is more strongly implicated in this that * is.

I think the GOP would be willing to let Cheney go. They'll let Bush flounder because that is more of a symbol of defeat than Cheney. They can always say Cheney was the black sheep!

4. No,No,if Bush goes Cheney goes

This is 1974 all over again..Cheney resigns first,then Bush appoints a VP confirmed by congress,then Bush resigns..However if this happens perhaps somehow someway Congress could pass a law to hold a special election but of course this would not follow the Constitution...But then hell we havent followed the Constitution for the last 51/2 years........
