"Highest example of desperation in the history of presidential elections"

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

WASHINGTON - When former New York Sen. Al D’Amato suggested this week the time had come for President Bush to replace Vice President Dick Cheney with either Secretary of State Colin Powell or Arizona Sen. John McCain as his running mate, was D’Amato voicing Republican hopes and Democratic fears? Or was he simply being provocative?

"On through September, the Democratic ticket of Kerry-Edwards could very well build an insurmountable lead among a public that is hungry for change,” said one Washington-based political consultant, speaking on condition of anonymity.

“If Cheney is dropped it would be the highest example of desperation in the history of presidential elections,” he said. “Without a doubt, it would happen in response to the fear Republicans have at Edwards being selected as Kerry’s VP."

While some Democrats acknowledge they’d love Cheney to stay on the ticket because they consider him a drag on Bush, most want to talk instead about their exuberance over Edwards.

1. Their desperation shows in many ways

Just look at the attacks on Edwards. Everything from "inexperienced", though he has a much experience as Bush did, to the not so subliminal "girly" hints. They are desperate. Dropping Cheney would just be the icing on the cake.

BUshCO has made a mess of things. All that's left is the desperation.

2. They've already topped that example.

Postponing, or should I say cancelling the election. These people have sunk to depths I never thought possible. I hate them.

3. Or,

the lowest example.

4. If you think its bad now...

...wait until October!

5. After the election...

someone should give bush* and cheney* each a gun with a single bullet and demand that they do the honorable thing.

But until Nov 3, I'll be praying every day that crashcart stays healthy.
