Don't get me wrong, I want GWB to stay healthy because he's a good man and it would be horrible to see such a good man die, I'd cry my eyes out. But it wouldn't have much to do with our chances of holding the WH. We'd just draft Jeb, and get huge amounts of sympathy votes. If that happened, I wouldn't think we're gonna have a 40 state wallop, I'd know we were.

IMHO, Hildabeast will take the VP slot, if she is forced too. So even if Dean loses, then she will run for Pres in 2008. Remember the Rats rely on the Black vote, and they LOVE the Clintons, who can do no wrong.
But if the unthinkable happens, and Dean wins, then Hillary will make history by becoming the first woman Vice-President.
We all should never underestimate the power of the beast...in this case..Hillary. She is just plain evil.

Suddenly, with the Dean endorsement, he's going somewhere. Picture it:
A former US Senator becomes Vice President for eight years, then gets his party's nomination for President. There is a very close election, and charges of fraud and stealing the election. The former VP graciously bows out, trying to put the controversy behind him, and four years later endorses an outsider from the fringes of his party. The fringe candidate goes on to lose spectacularly to an incumbent President, but the former VP gains the trust of the fringe candidate's supporters. The former VP goes on to win his party's nomination again, and with discontent over a foreign war in the public's mind, beats his opponent in another narrow election, and goes on to win re-election to a second term.
Who am I talking about? Richard Nixon, of course.
Anybody see the significance of today's announcement now?

I don't know for sure, but Bill is a huge thorn in Hillarys fat arse. He has a 23% approval rating. He's an impeached, discraced man in the eyes of the country (except a few very dumb people). Yes, but some of those dumb people are rich, and BJ Billy's still a major money draw for the DNC. If McAuliffe doesn't let them redirect it into their own funds, that is. The only thing BJ's running for is Secretary-General of the UN, and corruption is a positive attribute there. Him in as Sec'y-Gen and Hill in as President of the U.S.? Be afraid, be very afraid...

I already saw great significance in the endorsement before reading your post, but you certainly have added to the historical perspective and context.
Thank you very much for that great post!

Interesting take on Nixon. The parallels are kind of spooky. The big difference is Barry Goldwater was no LBJ hater like Dean is regarding Bush.
Also; I think Goldwater was in the senate when he ran. Dean is an ex-gov.

With there already being the father as an ex-prez, the chances of Jeb reacing the WH is slim to none.
The country would feel "Bush Fatigue", IMO.

You know you may have a point there..her main focus after all is to turn this country into a socialist/marxist nation

Also; I think Goldwater was in the senate when he ran. Dean is an ex-gov. Quite true. The parallels are not exact, of course, but they are eeriely similar. I must confess, the idea came to me when I was watching MSNBC this morning. They were interviewing Bill Press and Pat Buchanan about the Gore endorsement, and Pat thought it was super big for the '08 race, of course, Press thought the whole thing was entirely about '04. Pat mentioned Nixon's endorsement of Goldwater, and the rest of the story just came together.

I was a freshman in high school when Goldwater ran. It was my introduction to Republican politics. I got a job selling cans of a lemon-lime beverage labled "Gold Water" during my hometown's fall festival.
