Reply #11: Truly Paranoid Thought

but a brilliant ploy if they could bring themselves to do it. The lovely, honest, trustworthy CondaChevron Rice? Excellent casting as VP. It would really alienate the Hard Right (but who the hell else can they vote for?) And it would screw us big time by dragging in the big wishy-washy middle who are a little left/a little right.

But it ain't gonna happen. They've been on the outs with Powell since the beginning (well, back and forth and back and forth). But I think that makes him the better VP nominee. He could pull in some of the black vote, and since he's been the internal bad guy (at least part of the time) over Bush's prosecution of our various and sundry "wars" he could pull in the those middle ground voters who don't totally hate Bunnypants but feel a little uncomfortable with him. After all Powell would be a moderating force, right? And no threat to Jeb because he'd never in a million years get the Repub nomination for Prez.

CondaSleeza is excellent casting, Powell is more realistic casting. But no matter what happens Tricky Dick ain't taking a fall for anything, ever.
