What if? What if's are fun.

Whee! What if a draft dodger were elected Commander-in-Chief? Whee!

What if a Republican implemented wage & price controls? Whee!

Your "what if Arlen Specter was a pres. nominee" comes close to "what if a giant grasshopper grabbed me" but I think I'll stick to what is, Doc.

There are only two brands of politicians that can get elected. Republicans and Democrats. I pick Republicans. I want conservatives. Ultra mega supra heavy duty axe wielding Nordic horn helmeted conservatives. Republicans are generally more conservative than Democrats. So I pick Republicans.

If Arlen starts picking up steam ping me.
