Republicans want Bush to replace Cheney with Rice

The front page of London's Sunday Times this week is led by the headline, "Dump Cheney for Condi, Bush urged."

The story is not entirely new as rumors are abound that Condoleezza Rice, despite her denials, is being groomed for a crack at the presidency in 2008. Some insiders have also speculated on Rice being handed the vice presidency to boost her prospects.

One of the key factors at play is the Bush family. President George Bush Snr. is the pre-eminent networker in Washington. His Christmas card list alone numbers in the hundreds of thousands. He has played an influential role in the last several presidential elections. Recently the Bush camp has been seen getting closer to Senator John McCain, the Republican front-runner. Bush Jnr. however is a very close confidant of Rice, and has had run-ins with McCain in the past.

Adding to the intrigue is that the publication of Sunday's story appears as the lead in The Sunday Times, arguably one of London's most politically influential newspapers, often credited with shaping public opinion. It is also owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, a close ally of the Bush family. Roger Ailes, formerly Bush Snr's chief media co-ordinator, is Chairman of the Board, CEO and President of Murdoch's Fox News Channel.

"If the Democrats win either the House of Representatives or the Senate it will be death and torment. It will be horrible for Bush," said Barnes. A Democrat win could lead to moves to impeach Bush for leading the country to war on allegedly false pretences, or at the very least, to bog down the president's legislative programme until he leaves office in 2008.

and my favorite quote...
Only one two-term victor has been more unpopular than Bush at a similar six-year stage in his presidency - Richard Nixon in the months before he was impeached

1. * will go down as the most catastrophic presidency in the US

It will be horrible for Bush," said Barnes

That's going to be just too bad now isn't it....and everyone of us that opposes the criminal and his cabal....will watch as they tighten the screws...and just when he thinks it's cound't get any worse....well...there is the Hague to look forward too....

Have a nice day in hell *!!!

2. goddess, wouldn't that be 'in our faces'

the republicans, the bush administration no less, being the first major party to run a woman - a black woman. i'd almost feel compelled to vote for her just to see that barrier broken. but don't worry, i know what a reptile she is...

[MadMaddie]

3. Not only that.....Condi would be a fool to run....

Colin Powells wife told him....that he would be assasinated if he ran and if he won....I fear the same fate for anyone black running at this time....(No matter how in they think they are)

* administration has opened some serious racial divide in this country and this wouldn't be the right time....

7. The WORST thing that ever happened to America (9/11)

Something to think about, trolls

5. Everybody knows Cheney is running the whitehouse

and wants him out... I think the Republican Party may have destroyed itself

when all the facts come out about the corruption and stealing of our children's future... how could they comeback ever...

6. Seems fair enough

8. That person made a mistake with that last quote.

Nixon wasn't impeached. He was about to be impeached and he resigned to avoid it.

9. Death and torment....

My God, I've waited 6 YEARS for this day. To actually see it with my own eyes.

I hope they wear down in the months ahead. Spinning desperately, trying every PR trick in the book, including dragging out a Bin Laden look-alike. I fully expect to see Bush appearing on TV, holding a loaded gun. He points it at the TV viewing public, and tells them to vote for him or else.....
