President Bush secretly landed an hour ago and is currently eating Thanksgiving dinner at my undisclosed location. Anticipate a press release after he takes off.

Wrong.
Iraq is 8 hours ahead of us on the East Coast....and it is 11:51 AM RIGHT NOW that makes it 7:51 PM in IRAQ RIGHT NOW
Can you grasp that???
Well, yes, I'm sorely familiar with Slick and Beastie's plans for 2008. Bill Safire has discussed them in print and I've discussed them in here with other FReepers for the last year or so. I'm familiar with Slick's calculation that America will be sick of Wall Street Pubbie-ism after eight years and that the country will turn grateful, goo-goo eyes toward Beast Woman ..........especially since she and Slick will still be in solid, Peronista-style control of the Democratic Party and will give the Dems no alternative to anointing Hillary ("oh, gee, oh gosh, oh how unexpected......you want little old me to run?!!" <hurling noises in background, lentulusgracchus stumbles away doubled over, toward nearest fire escape/men's room/open elevator shaft>
I haven't doped out all the nuances of why the Felon Family are dangling Gen. Clark in the race. Either he is a stalking horse -- if he wins, does Hillary step forward to eat him up in the convention? -- or a sacrificial lamb. I haven't figured out the intramural, hermaphroditic aspects of the Dems' can-of-worms. Failing sudden illumination, I guess I like your theory as well as any.
Interesting, though, that you think Condi will be the nominee on the Pubbie side.......I think 2008 will be too early for her yet, no cabinet officer has ever done squat in nomination politics (Rummy is one who tried). She'll need to get her butt out to California to succeed the Governator first (can you say Aaahnuld!!), then she'll be ready. Or failing that, New York, when Pataki steps down. Still, I'd like to see Beast Woman's face if Condi threw her hat in the ring as the candidate of Castle Arbusto. It'd be more fun than turning a fire hose on the Wicked Witch of the West. Shrub sure thinks a hell of a lot of Condi, but I don't know whether, even if the Bushes could secure the nomination for Condi "just like that" (which would begin to raise some serious questions in my mind about the direction of American politics), she could get over Beast and Incubus; she'd be too green still.
Wellllll, I won't go that far with you. I don't know about "great president" (I'd settle for "pretty good" or "light-years better than the alternative") and I don't know about the "grave danger" part, either. That would only be true in the big East Coast cities even if the Gorebot were president and doing a PC ostrich/navel-examining act w/ respect to Arab terrorism.
Even in the hands of the Rats, this is still a pretty stout country. It even stood up to 48 years of the New Deal.
Why not? She was good enough for some around here to cheer her on as the next 'conservative' Senator from NC. She's been happy enough in her career to help force through useless national regulations which have intruded upon the rights of the states to maintain their internal affairs. Heck, why not put her in charge of the national government? She probably thinks that's where she deserves to be anyway, I say let's do it.... ( /Dolt rant for the day off ;))
