One; "Your assumption of that happening comes from where?"; and...
Two; Who would you honestly like to have in the Whitehouse, given all that has transpired in 2001 - W, Gore, or Keyes?
Think about it and let the forum know your honest feelings.
Just to point something out to you that you seem not to have noticed -- THE ELECTION IS OVER, everything being said now by a candidate in that election no longer is some form of electioneering. Having said that, if I could go back in time, and vote in the 2000 primaries and general elections, in the situation as it was then, and what we know now of their characters, it would still be 1) Keyes, 2) Bush, and 3) Gore for me. However I have been rather satisfied by much of Bush's performance, and expect to have no problem supporting him for reelection in 2004.
