There's been too much turnover in the administration. This is all just a waste of cpu-cycles.
mini-me needs to find someone who wants to be prez in 2008 to put in as veep. someone to groom, much like slick willie tried to do with igor.
else 2008 will be the year of the hildebeast.
Here's one man's opinion....even if Cheney had to step down for medical reasons...which would, and should be the ONLY reason he doesn't run again...and you could ignore the "leeeetle " problem of a pro-chice, pro-gay agenda" person being ONE heartbeat fro the Oval Office, IMHO, Laura Bush would never agree to Judy Guiliani being on the ticket...That woman's got a lot of baggage..
True, but I think it shows the mindset and delusional thinking of the Left right now: This guy thinks the Bush ticket needs a "political exorcism." Middle America thinks no such thing.
Although it is a bit far-fetched, it would be very interesting to see that happen. I think Cheney is great, and possibly the greatest VP in history but to the pollsters he may not be. I dont think the administration would pick Giuliani though. Maybe Powell or Condi even.
However, if the left wants to worry themselves into high blood pressure territory imagining this scenario, it won't bother me one bit. If they think that Karl Rove is able to do this, they will waste their time thinking up strategies to combat it.
Condi and Dick could just swap jobs!
This would raise Condi's stature even more for her presidential bid against the hildabeast in 2008!
If Bush dumps Cheney I want him to bring Colin Powell in as VP. Now THERE'S an unbeatable GOP ticket . . . but Giuliani wouldn't be bad either. It's not that I don't like Dick Cheney. Oh, now that I think of it . . . Lynn Cheney would make a great VP candidate also.
I agree, Cheney isn't going anywhere.
But if we were going to change the Veep slot, I'd nominate a War Democrat like Zell Miller or Joe Lieberman. A Lieberman nomination would be particularly amusing -- the ultimate insult to Al Gore!
I would not like to see Cheney dropped and I think this is all silliness ... but if it were to happen, it would not dissuade me from voting for Bush, the stakes right now are too high for me to get into a snit about who the Veep is.
Colin Powell will not be around for long, I see hime leaving.
Dr. C. Rice
So many people have talked about a Kerry-McCain ticket that they haven't noted that Zell Miller is perfectly positioned to be a crossover VP candidate the other way. I still think it's Cheney all the way (and rightly so), but Miller might be one of the better choices out there if a replacement is ever needed.
The person I'm keeping my eye on is Andy Card. If Cheney leaves the VP spot, there's no way he'd leave the administration (he's got too much power, and too much vested), so the logical spot to move him would be to COS. And if they want to use Cheney's health as a motivating factor, then they could claim that COS would be a less-stressful position. So Card leaves for greener pastures, Cheney moves to COS, and someone else comes in as VP. Anyway, that's my $.02.
Rice would make a great Condidate. (Sorry, I couldn’t resist)
What the lefties simply can't understand is that when George Bush says something, he really means it. Folks on the left have never had experience with that kind of person. It does not compute to them.
I hope Cheney stays on. If, for health reasons, he CHOOSES to step down, then I've always wanted Condi to be VP.
People on this thread have suggested Zell Miller, and that's intriguing also.
Thoughts? - just hopes. Cheney is going to resign, Hagel will be appointed and he will fire Rummmy. Bush goes on to win big.
