Um, AOL wants to know if Laura should run for President... WTF?
They're also conducting a poll on whether we think the Bush family is a dynasty. So far, 51% say no and 49% say yes.

Also, do we think Laura and Jeb should run for office.

So far, 73% say Laura shouldn't run and 68% say Jeb shouldn't.

If you are an AOL user, go to this link and place your vote.

I guess I am cynical enough to think if * could "win"**, so could Laura or her Aunt Hester. :tinfoilhat: "And we're counting the votes," said Unca Dick. :puke:

Edited for leaving out a word.

17. I'm cynical right along with ya
As long as voting isn't completely transparent, open, and fair, Uncle Fester could "win" if the right people want him to.

3. Cheney the Idiot made some comment about he would vote for Pickles
This poll is due to a comment made by Cheney that he would vote for pickles when someone was trying to pin him down about if he was going to run in 2008

10. Interesting numbers
Isn't AOL very rightwing too? :shrug: I remember for a while all their polls were siding with Bush and now they aren't. Weird. Where are all the freepers freeping the poll?

16. They're seriously floating this idea!
Yesterday Lynne Cheney "mentioned" it. Today, it was President Cheney himself who said he thought it would be a good idea. Apparently they think Laura could beat Hilary (BBV anyone?), leading to a Lurleen Wallace-style third term for Commander Cuckoo Bananas. Except, of course, Cheney would be pulling botht heir strings.
