Yeah the Cheney move to CIA, Rice to VP is a good idea. Or even Powell to VP, Rice to State. That'll flummox 'em.
Wouldn't that just frost Hillary's behind. Rice moved to VP position now, which would make the ticket for 2008 a slam dunk for her as president.
Powell is not going to satisfy the Bush base IMHO. I do not think he is pro-life and he let's his underlings mouth off about how peeved he is about this or that Bush policy. He needs to be gone in a second term, and I bet he wants to be gone. I think Condi is pro-life, but I am not sure. Any VP is probably going to need to be pro-life.
Maybe this time we will hire somone from the intelligence community, if I remember right Tenent's background had nothing to do with intelligence.
