The speculation about the 04 VP spot was terrific


I figured out a while back that the first Black, Female, or Jewish President of the US would be a Republican. It is like the "Nixon in China" thing, it has to be from the opposite side. That way, you hold the Conservative vote, and pick up the appropriate Liberal vote.

We haven't seen Jochen around for a while.

He still reads the thread. I get PMs from time to time. I think he only posts when he has something important to say, not like us natterers.;^)

The speculation about the 04 VP spot was terrific. Cheney against Rice. Great gossip material.

Why the adversarial nature of the speculation? Cheney is getting a bit long in tooth and has health problems. He might very well voluntarily relinquish the VP slot, leaving the door open to CR, whose candidacy would make mincemeat out of a lot of Demo. sacred cows.

It would be a terrific combination that would ensure 43's re-election.
