CNN Crossfire | 10/2/02

Posting this belatedly, but toward the close of the show when discussing the NJ decision, Novak half-jokingly proposed that since Fisher is so far behind in the Pennsylvania Governor's polls, maybe Governor Schweiker, who has turned out to be somewhat of a hero after the Pennsylvania mine situation, should replace Fisher on the ballot.

And come to think of it, why didn't the Dems ask the SCNJ to replace Saddam Hussein?

Damn, they coulda solved that entire problem too!

[cmsgop]

Hell, Why Not at this point.......

Im gonna replace my Henry's with Corona's at the Circle K and pay Henry's prices!

Whats Abu gonna do .....Stop Me?

[hispanarepublicana]

why didn't the Dems ask the SCNJ to replace Saddam Hussein

Hmmmm, maybe 'cause the Dems kind of LIKE him? At least that's the impression I get from Bonior and McDermott...

[jigsaw]

Good point!

[JZoback]

Well, why not.

In our new banana republic, I guess anything goes.

Why do we need laws anymore? They don't mean anything

[cubreporter]

But...the Gov. doesn't want to run!

That's okay--I jokingly proposed this bait and switch earlier (on some thread or other here--too late to figure out where)--Schweiker wins and then resigns for "pressing family concerns" and he appoints his Lt. Gov. (Fisher ??) in his stead

Same situation in TN..bob clement (D) is 19 points behind lamar alexandar.

[cubreporter]

good plan!

[twyn1]

Especially good plan after I read this:
Lucky for Rendell he's not facing Schweiker

[cubreporter]

Yipes.
