VP Cheney is the Presidents choice. Plus, the Bush/Cheney 04 bumper stickers are already printed.

I hope not! He'd loose my vote if he did.

"McCain hates Bush."
Which suits me just fine.
I have no respect or regard for Captain Queeg. Why would the President dump a winner for a douche?

I don't know whether it was Bush approved or sanctioned, but they didn't distance themselves of it. I believe it was one of the Christian groups who made some very unsubstantiated statements about McCain and his daughter and inferred that McCain was mentally unstable due to his POW status during Vietnam. Even what should have been a friend Limbaugh was very rough on him.

Clinton was too popular. I always thought that the 96 primaries were more to let a few old time GOPers have their day in the sun before being put out to retirement. None of them really had a chance in Hades to defeat Clinton.Clinton popular? Just two years earlier, he sufferred one of the largest congressional setbacks that any president incurred. My dog could have beat him.
Two things killed Dole. One was the savage primary he went through (comapre that to this years dem primary where they jousted each other with kid gloves for the most part).And conservatives overplayed their hand once they won the congress.

Cheney is not going anywhere, he's on record as saying he's not going anywhere as long as Bush wants him as VP, he's staying. McCain isn't even being courted, much less tapped as the VP. McCain loathes everything about Bush.

Dole was unelectable, no matter how much you try to defend him. The Clinton factor overshadowed everything Dole could muster up.
Suffice to say, I voted for Dole, because I don't vote third party because third parties will forever remain irrelevant, nor do I give a draft dodging womanizer a pass much less a kiss on his proverbial ring.

Who savaged Dole? The Democrat attack machine did. Who savaged McCain? The Democrat attack machine did. Politics is a brutal "sport".

Will Bush Put McCain on the TicketAnd did Janet Leigh ever consider climbing into a shower stall with Anthony Perkins?
To: BigSkyFreeper
Who savaged Dole? The Republican attack machine did during the primaries. His primary opponents left him mortally wounded to go against Clinton. Clinton should have been easily able to be knocked off. Even by a less than desireable Bob Dole.
Who savaged McCain? Again, the varioius republican/conservative attack machines. Even the Dems (according to folks like Rush) were in his favor. The phone call campaign against McCain in SC was done by republicans.
To: Iron Eagle
The issue is Iraq. If Iraq doesn't improve, I'm not sure McCain would make any difference. If Iraq does improve, Bush will win regardless of the VP. McCain might make a better salesman for Bush's policy, though, and that would be a major plus. Rudy would do the same, frankly.

Ronald Reagan and Bush I The creator of "voodoo economics." That still haunts the GOP -- including GWB.

That's the funniest thing I've heard all day. McCain vs. Gore would have been a 6-point McCain route.

I agree, although Rudy wmight cause a major problem with base conservatives who will not look past his pro-abortion stance.
While many Freepers detest McCain, he is pro-life. (In the end, while I love Cheney, he does not add a single vote we do not already have. -- and we started in the hole!)
To: Iron Eagle
I was only saying that Rudy and McCain are better at winning converts to Bush's Iraq policy than Cheney. I wasn't talking about anything else-- like abortion or whatever.

The idea comes from above my pay grade and political experience, which I suspect is slightly above yours as well.
The issue isn't about Cheney, whom I love. The issue is about adding votes to insure that Bush wins. Political strategists understand, as does Cheney, that he does not add one single vote that we do not already have. In addition, Cheney will never be running for President, and the Party bosses want an heir apparent in '08. They also see the McCain courting by democrats as great. Just the other day Hillary said she could support him, and she has enormous respect for him. If Bush taps him, what do the dems do with statements like that?
Frankly, there are many interesting political possibilities if you let yourself examine them.
To: Iron Eagle
You are about a mental as McCain.

I really don't find you have a brain in your head.
