"It's in the media and right here on FR.I wonder if some suggesting Guilliani replace Cheney are really Republicans.I like Guilliani but he is not a good replacement as a VP.He is more likely to be a good candidate for NY Senator."

I'm one of those people, and I'm a Republican! I think Guiliani is a good Veep choice against a Kerry/? ticket because Guiliani appeals to swing voters MUCH more than Cheney. Cheney is perceived by many as sneaky and inaccessable. And besides, even though Guiliani is not as conservative as we'd like, how much damage could he do as a Veep?

The logic would hold up about as well if you'd substitute the name "Hillary" for "Giuliani".

It's hard to believe that President Bush will get his base all fired up to campaign for him if he picks a New York gun-grabbing, pro-abortion guy as his apparent successor.

We need Guiliani here in New York so that we can get rid of Hildabeast!

How about GW just courts his base and then maybe the swing won't be so important.
