there is still a long way to go of course. a long way.

But I will make a prediction now (what the hell) - if Rudy wins the nomination, and if he continues to look strong in the general election polls against Hillary as 2008 rolls on - OK here it is (drumroll) - the Bush family is going to offer up Jeb as the VP. I think Bush 41 wants another son to serve as president, I think the way Bush 43 has been treated leaves a bad taste in his mouth. If Rudy can take it, better to be his VP and setup for 2016 (Jeb will be 63 in 2016). Much the same way Bush 41 knew the right move to ascending to the presidency himself, was to hitch himself to Reagan in 1980.

Hmmm - that's interesting. And much as I like Jeb, I think people are sick of the Bush family.

what about Cheney for VP? I know there's a term limit on the President. Is there one on the VP. I think keeping Cheney as VP could go a long way to helping shore up conservative support for whoever gets the nomination.

The only thing with Jeb is that he's such a national figure in his own right with the name recognition and all that he could end up overshadowing the top of the ticket. Generallt the VP is a guy that doesn't really take press away from the P. Think guys like Gore, Kemp, Quayle, Bush, Cheney, Agnew, etc...

Yes but would Rudy accept Jeb as VP? If so, why?
