So your scenario to give Hunter a chance requires the President to pressure Dick Cheney to step down so that he can replace him with Hunter. And then defense contractors chip in millions to get him elected as President.
That is fascinating.
That's one scenario, being played out today. There are others. Remember who was the front runner last time around: Dean. Candidacies implode. Stuff happens. It's eary in the race and we have 9 months to make the case for our socon candidate. The solib candidate fails completely on this socon forum and that indicates he splits the base. Every political observer from here to China knows how bad that is except for team rudy. This ain't gonna be a creampuff process.
