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.

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.

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.

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

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. :-)

Recent events lead me to the understanding that many people don't believe Condi Rice is actually black.

My best hope for the coming election cycle is that the Hildebeast will turn out to be the Howard Dean of 2008. yeeeah.

putting any african-american into the VP slot would just be begging for someone to put a couple of rounds into POTUS. bad idea.

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?

Oh Dude, sorry, but the world's gonna end in 2012. The elections in November, so thats 11-3 odds that you're not gonna get the chance.

Of course, maybe you will and maybe that's why the world's going to end.
