I know one, Im sure as hell not going to vote for Bush next time around :D

LOL.. I thought that a three term presidency was unconstitutional.
Getting that changed would take both house of congress to wip up an amendment...
...oh crap.
-
i did not know democrats were bush fans.
-
Oh, but they are!!

:rofl

Is it unconstitutional, or just against precedents?
I seem to recall something after Roosevelt?
-
Cripes.. I can't remember.. wait; it was after roosevelt's 4 terms.. The republicans (imagine that!) ramrodded an ammendment (21st? 22nd?) limiting the presidency to two consecutive terms

He'll run as a Republican in 2008 as an anti Bush policies candidate and pledge to get the USA out of Iraq, cause by 2008 most Americans will realize what a hopeless quagmire Iraq is and want US out... it'll be until 2012, maybe 2016, before we have a Democrat in the White House again because they have nobody to run.

Yup. I'm guessing yer right Airhead.

Anyone want to put down a little wager on the next President being Dem or Rep?
I'll take the Dems, but I want odds. I think they'll win......... I just want the odds to fatten the purse at low risk.

I'll give you even money and take McCain, and I'll let you go double or nothing whan McCain wins that he's elected as a maverick Republican on a get US Out of the Mideast platform.
He'll also run on a tougher border policy.
This was all arranged between senior Republicans before Bush's reelection- if Iraq goes well McCain runs as a status quo Republican, if not he runs as a anti war candidate.
It's the biggest win-win since Clinton bought opposing options on Tyson Foods stock.

I wouldn't touch that bet :) The time should be ripe for a Democrat, but they can effortlessly **** up a wet dream. Maybe they will get in focus by next election under Dean's leadership, find an electable candidate, effectively campaign and get the vast moderate vote from both sides (plus the hard core liberals like the Repubs. Get the Christian conservatives). Then again, maybe they will run another snoozer candidate - or a Hillary - and be reactive and on the defensive for the whole campaign like last time. Maybe the youth of America will actually put down the Playstation controller and stumble to a voting boot, who knows :)

Hell, we might get a dem majority due solely to heart attacks in the senate.

How bout we amend that to McCain will campaign to change, either by pulling US out or committing US to a larger presence there? Either way he'll campaign as a shift from Bush policy in every area where Bush is percieved as weak.

Bush consultant meets with McCain about presidential bid
BY G. ROBERT HILLMAN
The Dallas Morning News
WASHINGTON - (KRT) - Mark McKinnon, the Austin political consultant who oversaw the advertising for President Bush in the 2000 and 2004 campaigns, has committed to help Sen. John McCain in a second presidential bid.
McKinnon - one of the president's closest friends and confidants and a frequent mountain biking companion - met with the Arizona Republican over lunch this spring in the Senate dining room to discuss his support, said a GOP activist familiar with the meeting.
At this point, McCain, who lost to Bush in a bitter 2000 Republican primary, is in the early but unmistakable stages of laying the groundwork for another campaign. And McKinnon has indicated he would review his options, should Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice or the president's brother, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, run in 2008.
The White House has sent word that Jeb Bush should be taken at his word, that he will not run. Rice, just four months into her new job, is not expected to seek the presidency, though some top Republicans have suggested she might be considered for vice president.
McKinnon, vice chairman of the Austin-based consulting firm Public Strategies Inc., said on Monday he's had "friendly conversations with Senator McCain" but would not discuss his commitment.
"I like the senator a lot, but it is too early to speculate on his intentions, as he has said himself, not to mention mine," McKinnon said in an e-mailed statement. "My political focus right now is on a successful second-term agenda for President Bush."
McCain's political strategist, John Weaver, said the senator is heartened by those "encouraging him to run," but that he has not yet decided whether he will.
"He's not out organizing," Weaver said, "and he's instructed us not to do that, either."
Nonetheless, the jockeying among Republicans for their party's presidential nomination is well under way.
In addition to McCain, likely contenders include Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist of Tennessee, Virginia Sen. George Allen, Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
McKinnon's commitment to McCain, though, is among the earliest to any candidate, particularly among the cadre of senior advisers who guided the president's last two campaigns.
McKinnon became better acquainted with McCain during his campaigning for the president in 2004 and contributed $2,000 to the senator's re-election coffers last October.
A political maverick - he called his campaign advertising company Maverick Media - McKinnon first dabbled in politics as a Democrat and worked for the Texas gubernatorial campaign of Ann Richards, among other Democrats.
For the 2002 Senate race in Texas, McKinnon and his wife, Ann, contributed $4,000 to Democrat Ron Kirk against Republican John Cornyn. Later, the consultant apologized, saying the contributions had caused "some heartburn" for the Bush administration.

Your guess is right judging by the propaganda efforts of the mass media.

No matter how hopeless Iraq may seem, the United States cannot leave. Would cause alot more flak then we are already taking.

wouldnt be willing to bet on either side at the moment. But I think if anyone but hillary runs for the dems they will probably win.
Whoever runs I will guarantee two things.
There will be a winner
And no matter who wins we will all be loosers

"No matter how hopeless Iraq may seem, the United States cannot leave."
Was it as hopeless before the Bush Blair war?
-
Was not stating in my opinion that Iraq is hopeless. Just toward the not so optimistic posters. It all depends on the point of view.
