Laura Roslin seems to think she is president again. I really have no idea what would make her, or anyone else, think she is president.
i suspect after the disaster that balthar was, people will look at the last president for leadership while they try to form a new government. Like everyone said, Balthar was the cut and run Democrat who preached the simple idea that if you hid your head in the sand they would be left alone.
Just maybe because Baltar is a traitor.
I haven't seen the episode yet (can I complain to my Congressman about slow illegal downloads?) but I'd think Tom Zarek would be President if Baltar is on the lam.
