4. The question is predicated on a Bush loss. |

I tried to work in the win scenarios but too complicated for the poll. Perhaps another poll with those...
The basic assumption is that if he "wins", by hook or crook, then they will attempt to run Jeb at some point.

6. It's WAAAAAY too early to prognostigate this. |
|
Some possible scenarios: Another 9/11 type incident. Dubya launches another "war" (N. Korea, Iran, where-ever) Some scandal (real or invented) against Kerry/Edwards, et al. Another more brutal replay of Florida/2000 (someplace /w BBV issues) It's gonna be interesting and probably real ugly.

8. My "squeaker" scenarios include by hook OR by CROOK. |
|
If shrub "wins" with a 2000 style banana republic debacle, I can imagine a scenario where despite holding onto power, the Repubs disavow the Bush family dynasty because of negative associations. Particularly if the deficit notes come due, economic situations worsen in second term, more war/draft etc. during second shrub term. This is why we need to GET OUT AND VOTE!

10. Any other "legit" shrub win |
|
will almost certainly result in an attempt to continue the show, unless things REALLY go to shit during the second term.

7. Baaaad feeling about this.... |
|
Bush will win. It will be close. Kerry ain't the best candidate. Jeb will run in '08 but fortunately by then Bush/GOP fatigue will have set in and a Democrat will get into the White House.

9. Bush loses in landslide, entire administration |
|
convicted of treason and sentenced to life in maximum security prison; entire Bush family sterilized and exiled to anti-american, muslim country; all assets of the administration, Bush family and supporters sold off and used to support progressive social programs and initiatives.
I think that would just about do it.
