Wrong,it also prepares the ground in Ca for a Bubbette! run for the WH in 2004. Bubbette! ain't wanting people to forget who she is.

Just like 9/11, We will NEVER forget. CA and NY are about the only states she could ever possibly win.

Don't bet anything on that you can't afford to lose. Remember everybody saying she couldn't even win in NY? Now picture all the women who would vote for her,purely because she is a woman. When you consider that there are more registered women voters than registered men voters,this isn't a small number.Despite what many claim,add a BUNCH of women to this group who normally vote Republican. It's a "sisterhood thing",don'tchaknow? Then think of all the dimwit independent voters whose vote is always dependent on something like "one good speech" who would vote for her to "make history". Then add all the votes she would get from dedicated Dims who would vote for a rabid yellow dog if it ran as a Dim,and the numbers really start to add up.

Ok,now add ALL the votes having Colin Powell as her running mate will add,including people who normally vote Republican but would jump at a chance to vote for a "history-making ticket" of the first woman president AND the first black VP! Now add all the people who would vote for this ticket to "prove" they aren't racists.

Nope,a Bubbette!/Powell ticket can't be beat by anything the Republicans can field. Bush can't pick Condi Rice as his running mate because the public would rightly see this as pandering by having a "token black" candidate to counter Powell. About the best Bubba-2 would be able to do would be run with Rudy Guiliani as his VP in a effort to break the Dims solid hold on the northeast. With the Dims running a woman AND a black on the same ticket,this won't work.ESPECIALLY when you consider that Bubba-2 has done everything in his power to stick a knife in the backs of his base. Many who would have normally voted for him will do the same thing they did when his loser father ran in 92. They will sit at home and not vote. I will refuse to vote for him,regardless of who is running against him,and so will many other people. Bubba-2 is going to be a one-term president,regardless.

Be afraid. Be VERY afraid.
