Bush vs Clinton in 2008?
 
Move over Benifer and TomKat, the next great news matchup might be
Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton.

Can you imagine the feeding frenzy among the press if this happened? Both candidates have big money supporters. Both have strong core supporters. Both have strong negatives.

Whatever would happen, turnout would not be a problem.

Please. For the love of God. Make it stop.

Ya think? I don't think Jeb's really got the legs for this.

Try McCain-Rice v. Clinton-Edwards

Plus Jeb's Roman Catholic which might not set well with W's troops.:confused:

If the Republicans ran an African-American on the ticket, I bet the Democrats would feel obligated to counter with a Clinton-Obama matchup instead.

Interesting thought...although a Black woman trumps a Black man when you're playing "minority".

Triple word score would be a blind Black hispanic political refugee transsexual lesbian single mom in a wheelchair. :-)

I'm not saying you're wrong, but in 1998 did you think George W. had the legs? I didn't, but shows how much I know.

xoxoxoBruce 05-15-2006 10:00 PM

He didn't need legs.....all he had to do, once chosen, is go along for the ride. Rove & Co did all the work. :smack:

Oh, christ...

I wouldn't vote for either if you paid me.

Course, it'll be 2012 before I can vote, so mneh.

EDIT: Oh yeah, who's that really crazy guy who keeps running for president and like, has a cult and stuff? No, not GWB, the other one... What's his name again?

Griff 05-16-2006 06:44 AM

Ross Perot?

MaggieL 05-16-2006 07:12 AM

Lyndon LaRouche...Perot is a piker next to LaRouche.

Ibby 05-16-2006 09:51 AM

That's it, LaRouche.

Given the choice between giving GWB a third term or electing LaRouche... Which would you pick? There is no third option.

I dont think Clinton is a shoo-in.
I think we are ripening up for a darkhorse, straight and strong talking person that comes up on the outside.

Stormieweather 05-16-2006 01:06 PM

Fresh blood, please.
