Zell Miller coming up on 'Imus in the Morning' (7:29am Eastern)

Imus on MSNBC and WFAN ^

Sen. Miller was on earlier this month and he is a great guest.

IMO, if Cheney goes(I hope he does
NOT), his replacement will be pro-
life & pro-traditional marriage,
etc. Otherwise, it would be sure
disaster among the base voters.

[section9]

If Condi does go on the ticket, it only happens if Cheney steps down due to health or other considerations.

But I have never assumed that Condi would bring in a tide of black voters. That's not what she would be used for. She would be used to go after white working women and middle class professional women. An individual like Condi would help with moderates. The only place she would not help would be with black voters. They hate Bush, by and large.

Still, whoever is running with Bush this year, I bet Bush gets up to 15% of black voters this year. Bush always runs better with minorities the second time around.

those that seek to have Cheney gone only do so because they know it would help the enemies of Bush & Co.

I want Dick Cheney to leave because I believe his negatives are too high. I do not want to hurt Bush & Co. or help his enemies.

Guess I don't fit into your cock-eyed little theory?

Zell Miller!... wonder what he was doing during two terms of Clintonista gnosis and the Al-Goreiacs.. He must have a strong stomach and/or is dumber than a post.. He's not too smart but eventually gets it, probably... If a democrat had any sense they would'nt even be a democrat..

[Solson]

It isn't a theory. think about it. Why are Cheney's negatives so high? Because every lib blames the entire problems of the Bush administration on either Cheney or Rove. This implies Bush is just a puppet controlled by Cheney and Rove. That is simply not the case.

Moreover, the negatives are high on Cheney because people misunderstand his role in the administration. Cheney has brought together a very tough military team and defense department. he has assisted in holding the state department and their misguided principles in place.

Finally, Cheney's importance and his intelligence will come out in any VP debate. To write him off because "his negatives are too high" is simply benighted and shortsighted.

[leadpenny]

You're not telling me anything I don't know. You can argue about facts but you can't argue about perceptions.

. . .and his intelligence . . .

I won't question his intelligence but I do his judgement. There may be nothing wrong with doing it but I wonder what his thought process was when he went duck hunting with A. Scalia last month? It's about perceptions.

[mewzilla]

Read Sen. Miller's new book. You'll come away with a far better understanding of and appreciation for the senator :)

[cajungirl]

Nothing wrong with Cheney and Scalia duck hunting,,don't buy the dem slander on that one. Justices and politicians and public servants go duck hunting with one another.

[hosepipe]

OK..

I think my main point for thinking "Condi", was the historical factor. How disasterous for Democrat spinners of the future to have to acknowledge that the first black, and first female vice president was a Republican.

And I agree that Condi would not bring in droves of black voters.

Someone else, or maybe a couple of repliers, reminded us all how unpopular Rudy would be with the right, far right, and Bush's natural base voters. That is definitely a consideration, but hopefully these voters would weigh all issues and how very little a VP has to do with social issues. If they thought of it, I bet they'd admit Cheney and Guiliani hold similiar positions on those divisive issues, and agree that Cheney's personal position has zip effect on President Bush.

[section9]

The problem with Rudi is that he is flagrantly pro-abortion and flagrantly pro-gun control. Condi is a libertarian on guns and believes in restrictions on abortion rights, but is not altogether for repealing Roe v. Wade. That's much more palatable to the base.

Kerry spent a whole 4 MONTHS in the war in Viet Nam. In that short time he accumulated 3 purple hearts, which allowed him to apply to go home.

Does Kerry still bear the scars from these wounds? (Like Bob Dole) Or were they vicious paper cuts or bumps on the head from hitting it on the low doorways.
