1. If Dean can be McGovern
Then why can't Dubya be Bush sr? I mean, we are talking about history repeating, aren't we? I see a lot of signs of a Bush 2 Repeat, but no one wants to mention that one. It's just McGovern all the time. I say "To hell with you!" If people want to play Cassandra, well, then I'm predicting that Bush will turn out just like his father during his attempt to run against a small state Governor.

How's that for history repeating? It's as valid, if not moreso, as the McGovern one.
