3. 5% chance
Completely arbitrary figure.

It's not likely, but it's not out of the realm of possibility.

4. Wishful thinking, I believe
You had me there for a second, but... no.

There are powerful influences who want the status quo. Like it. Need it.

From corporate donors to neocon schemers, they want their friend in, no matter what.

5. They've already switched back to SOP restoration of order mode
To be calling for resignation wouldn't be going with the scripted program.

If Bush gets dumped, it'll be because the GOP leadership and Generals want him gone, and that message will not be conveyed by the media.

It's just as likely that Bush has a tragic accident, if he refuses to go back to the ranch, permanently.

6. Really thats who needs to want him gone is the GOP
and probably the Pentagon as well. Honestly I am certain thats how Nixon was forced out. The GOP put pressure on him to go. And even he could see the writing on the wall, but if there was not that pressure, I think he would have tried to weather the storm out. Sorry about my choice of words there to everyone. The GOP are the people we need to put pressure on if we want Bush's resignation. Although the Hague is nice this time of year.
