Unfortunately, you are correct.
However, having hillary and bill back in the White House could be seen as the same thing, and for even better reason. That said, hillary is still well on her way to the coronation, despite all that and be assured the Media will never let the word "dynasty" pass their lips when gushing about her.
From what I understand, Rudi is very pro-gun control, pro-abortion, and very much of a RINO, despite his magnificent leadership during 911. He would easily beat hillary in NY, but the rest of the country is questionable.
So far, I like J. Bush, Allen, Santorum, Barbour or Owens at the top of the ticket. They all have elective experience and would run a good race. For the second line, I would go for Rice, Hayworth, or any of the above who don't make the first cut,... perhaps even J.C. Watts.
The important thing is not letting a RINO onto the top of the ticket and putting somebody in second place who can draw on his/her own, much like Cheney does. They should not be a RINO, either, but in the case of Rice she brightly shines in a lot of needed areas, not just in the sex and race department.
