heh heh. Speaking of compassion, if brother Jeb had any compassion for his older sibling, he would declare his candidacy forthwith! That would free up our faux press to spend the next four years digging up dirt,er, perusing Jeb's background. Thereby leaving "W" with an open field.
On second thought, if Jeb has designs on the office(and he should), he might be better served keeping it under his hat. JMO, but if "W" has a good second term, "Four More Years" would have a nice ring to it, no?

Supposing Dick Chaney has a relapse with his heart problems, and[I'm not advocating that]and he has to step down as Veep, couldn't George appoint Jeb as his V.P? Say, by 2006 or 2007, and then Jeb could seek the nomination for 2008. Anybody out there in Freepland know anything about this? I'ts only speculation, but it would be a great way to drive the Libs to madness. They're halfway there now, anyway.
