If Powell ran he'd walk it. So imagine if it turns nasty in Iraq - or nastier, no WMD's questions of false information dragging USA into a long war without an exit strategy - Bush doesn't seek the nomination of the Republican party similar to Lyndon Johnson in that other war and Powell rides in to save the day....
Going to be interesting....
I don't think we can compare LBJ and Vietnam with 50,000 dead, and costant protesting accompanied with civil unrest with GWB and Iraq.
THe democrats are doing everything they can to make a mountain out of a molehill about those 16 words, but theor great coup does not seem to be taking hold. I also don't see the bulk of the population making the WMD issue a pivotal point upon which to base their vote.
If nothing catastrophic happens at home or abroad, the condition of the economy come novermber '04 will color the voters.
Personally, I'd love to see HIllary throw her hat in the ring. You would see a voter turnout in this country like never before.
