2. Either no McCain at State or he'll be just as lame as Powell.
McCain seems to love abuse, so he may take over from Powell at State and be just as irrelevant. Powell at DOD would bring him into the center of the hive of Neocons. I think he'd rather just go back on the lecture circuit.

But this is all idle speculation: Kerry is going to win, big (like 49, 50, 51% of the vote). Look at Florida: Cuban-Americans are moving toward the Dems, Dem registration is up bigtime there, too. Jeb will have to suppress a hundred thousand votes there to swing it to his brother this time.

3. Here's my prediction
There will be a Civil War, the coasts and blue states versus the south/midwest/red states. There is NO WAY half of this country would sit through another four years of an illegitimately selected president.

Sounds dramatic, I know, but I really think it's feasible.

Oh, there's a knock at my door now... must be Ashcroft. :scared:

6. I live in Alpharetta...
off of Windward Parkway. I HATE it here. I can see WalMart from my bedroom window.:-(

The good news is I'm moving to Atlanta proper in January... the bad news is, I'd much rather be moving back home to Philly...

Do you like Denver? I heard it's getting more liberal--true?

7.  Powell is done
So is Condasleeza I wish I could find the link to the reporter that sat with powell for a GQ interview. The guy was gowbsmacked at what he was saying. He went to Powell's aids 4 of them and asked if he was serious about the stuff he was saying and they assured the guy yes. He spills his guts about Iraq everything and then recants it all the next day.


this refers to it....
The news in the GQ article was not that Powell had made himself available, but that his staff, apparently, was encouraged to talk openly with the author. When the story started to raise discomforting questions the State department spokesman, Ambassador Richard Boucher, told reporters that Hylton had violated journalistic ground rules with some of the interviews, including Wilkerson’s, which, Boucher said, was not supposed to have been on the record.

However, there it was, for all to read, one of the Secretary of State’s top aides and one who has known him for 15 years at that, admitting what has been rumored for months that no, he didn’t think we’d be seeing Colin Powell serve another four years as the nation’s top diplomat, assuming Mr. Bush won re-election. And the more illuminating and candid opinion of Powell as mentally and physically tired.

8. Powell's getting out with what little reputation as he can salvage.
He won't work for the village idiot again.
