A GENTLE REMINDER ABOUT WHOEVER BECOMES PRESIDENT NEXT JANUARY:

[Bicoastal]

It won't be George W. Bush or Dick Cheney.

That is all.

[TwilightZone]

1. And, more likely than not, it will be a black man or a woman.

Unprecedented, either way.

[Lautremont]

2. Yeah, well, we'll just see about that, won't we!

Bush/Cheney '08!!!

On edit: I'm joking, of course, but isn't it still technically possible that Cheney could enter the Republican race and win? Or was there a deadline before which he had to declare? (Man, the venality of these people, that I actually have to ask that question!)

[TwilightZone]

3. Jeb and Mary?

Now that would be interesting.

Jeb and Mary against Hillary and Barack. Bigots would have heart attacks by the thousands.

[Lautremont]

4. And the world would be a better place.

[TwilightZone]

5. Very true.

Not to mention that we'd win in a landslide.

[pocoloco]

8. Just like Kerry!!

[TwilightZone]

9. I never thought Kerry would win in a landslide.

After 2000, no one should have "misunderestimated" Bush again.

[sandnsea]

6. It might be Romney or Huckabee

just a gentle reminder.

[Bicoastal]

7. But even if that happens...

...as bad as it may seem, I don't think it will be as bad as 2001-2008.

I really hope we don't see another 8 years like this for a very long time.

[sandnsea]

10. Yes we will, exactly like it

maybe even worse, especially with Huckabee. I had worked through my hopelessness and accepted it, and dang it, I'm going to have to work on getting rid of all that false hope again.

[oldtime dfl_er]

11. No but it could be Emperor Bush

That's what we're trying to prevent.
