1. That the Dems know they really have a chance now
and the republics are really not sure whether anyone can whitewash what Bush has done so that they can win in '08.

Bush will declare martial law and cancel the election.
He is president for life.

The heirs to bush's throne are out there. The media has already elected McCain president.

6. I'm not sure, but my worse fear?
Cheney will step down for "health reasons" and the real 2008 GOP Hopeful will be selected as VP.

:scared:

7. I'd predicted that would've happened by now.
I'm surprised it hasn't!

8. Maybe it's the timing?
Still 2 years out, and a sitting VP doesn't have to campaign this early. He just has to look Presidential.

What worries me, we just don't see much of Cheney anymore, I think he really might be feeling poorly. But this way to soon to suck up the press for a new VP, especially that there's still time for Bush to drag him down, so it could backfire.

With this administration, you have to think like Rove :evilgrin:

9. Hm
My theory is that in general, the less we see of Cheney, the more he's in charge. But who knows?

I think they'd want the timing to make the incoming vp seem "heroic" somehow, although they could manufacture that any time. I really thought it'd happen right after the 2004 elections.

You make a good point: At this point, such a VP would need to appear separate from Chimpy...

Time will tell!
