They've been courting Romney for a while (Bain Capital-another Carlyle)and making sure he gets some national attention. Either have Romney be a puppet prez. (they're good at that). Or if he gets out of line they'll just pull a Reagan on him.
:shrug:

I can't see these criminals go without a fight....and you know HOW they fight.

1. System Overload.
I just let out a loud preemptive oh no.

I don't think I can entertain the thought of Mr. Potatohead in the White House.

What a cruel post, making me think of Jeb the potato farmin' goon.

5. Oh, yes- If they think the end is inevitable...
Can't you just see beady eyed Newt, Scalia, Delay and the neoconic rat pack scouring the bowels of the Constitutional Think Tanks for a precedent somewhere to legitimize brother Jethro's appointment.

2. Been saying for years they'd put George Allen in
And then the dumb fuck lost. I don't think it will be Jebby. They need someone who is stupid and malleable and able to take orders and is a total asshole. George Allen.
Not sure who else fits the description. BUt they have not built up their little business to have it all stop in 2009.

3. Nope. Why do you think Poppy was crying the other day?

He knew W's mind numbing incompetence had just blown their dynastic plans...

4. It's Been Proposed Before
Dump Dick when things heat up re: investigations.
He can "retire" because of "health problems" and THEN...
Bring in Jeb or Mit or McCain.
Bush can then flee to his South American retreat.

This seems plausible but only if Senate investigations
seem headed toward impeachable/criminal certainty.

7. Cheney resigns (under Agnew-like duress) and Jeb becomes Dubya's VP
Edited on Mon Dec-11-06 06:54 PM by David Zephyr
They can always say that John Kennedy had Bobby be his AG.

I don't think this will happen, but then again, they are the Bush Family.

9. Bush still thinks he's popular
He thought he could get away with nominating his own personal lawyer to the Supreme Court. He might just be out of touch enough to pick his brother as VP if he had the chance.

8. That would be the only way he'd get in.
I don't think it'll happen in 2008, though. Frankly, I think the Repukes might be content to let the Dems run the country for a few years, let them clean up George's mess in Iraq and then blame them for whatever chaos ensues.

10. Jeb Bush will never accept VP
Not going to happen, IMO.
