My only point was that being VP has rarely helped candidates become president. And fwiw, while I don't personally remember GHWB's presidency, I don't think much of him as a president either.
I understand and I also appreciate what you're saying.
The bottom line is that I don't find it that hard to believe that a scenario like this could unfold, and if it does, it would, IMO, be a whole lot more beneficial for a Conservative that would be a good Presidential candidate in '08 to fill the spot than Frist.
Too bad you missed the "1,000 points of Light/NWO/Read My Lips" President. (end sarc)
