Mention the irony of the fact that the first black President and the first woman President are likely to be GOP.
Won't happen. President Bush has stated that Cheney will be on the ticket for reelection in 2004. When this President Bush says something he means it. GW is not taking his marching orders from Kristol (even though McCain supporter Kristol wishes overwise).
I've been thinking of this for months. If you want to watch a liberal stammer, choke, and come up at a loss for words, mention that this is your fervent desire. Include Colin Powell in a Rice administration in 2008, and the go positively spastic. I have a lot of fun with it
Me too. I'm thinking Bush is running a huge misdirection play aimed at the Clintons. He knows who his real enemies are in Washington, and is aware of Hillary's ambitions. I also believe that his brother doesn't really want to run for the Presidency.
Bush and Rove know how central Condi is to their plans. She's being held in reserve for a huge surprise.

Yup. But the way to get her on the Trail in '08, and NEGATE hillary!ous' attacks on her, is to run Cheney in '04, and have him step down in '06, and make the Senate Confirm her two months before the 06 midterms.
It puts the Dems in a No win Position, Either attack a Black Woman on her way to the White House, or Give the President, the Biggest PR move in the history of American Politics, since Geo. Washington turned down the Crown.
See Above.
Hitlery is up for re-election in 2006. Pataki's governorship ends in 2006. I believe that Pataki will run for the senate, and crush Hitlery. That's why I think she will have to run for prez in 2004. She won't be a senator in 2008.
Hyenas packs are fully matriarchal and all female hyenas are equipped with a pseudo-phallus.
Possible, but consider the possibility that the RNC is protecting Dr. Rice from early exposure to the Clinton slime machine. Hillary's group has already began taking pre-emptive strikes against her. eg. Belafonte's recent ridiculous statements. Watch the "negatives" increase in 2003. Carville will start his supplemental diet of gunpowder and the "Smear Rice Show" will take to the road.
Precisely. He could say, "Gee, Big Time is a great guy and all but his heart condition makes me question his ability to handle the rigors of a campaign. So I'm going to dump the old bastard and bring on a vivacious, intelligent black conservative female to replace this old baggage!" Yeah, sure he will.
Bush keeps his opponents, and his friends, guessing. Condi's stepping out party will be the Iraq war. Rumor has it she'll be front and center on briefings, much like the way Powell starred in the Gulf War.
My prediction? Cheney actually hangs around, but Bush gives him Rice's NSA job. This way, Cheney gets to stay in the game, gets to be Bush's international "enforcer", Powell keeps his hands clean, and Rice gets the services of "Scooter" Libby and all of Cheney's domestic people. This will help her immensely as she preps for the Big Girls Chair and the campaign against the Hildebeast.
Rice's libertarian instincts and her kill them before they kill you approach to national security will go over like gangbusters with white males. You watch!

Now I'm warning you all in advance! Tuco Troll will show up to start his nonsense. Please don't feed the Troll.
