* will not be the GOP candidate for President in 2004.

Wow, I can't say it won't happen, but it would take a crash-and-burn of catastrophic proportions for Chimp to fail to take the nomination. A sitting president hasn't failed to take his party's nomination since something like 1880 (the historians on this board can give the exact date.) He would have to do something to really piss off his base for them to turn against him like that.

I'm not saying Smirk deserves the nomination. But remember, the people going to the GOP convention will be Freeper types, not the average Joe on the street. As long as they love their Bush, their tax cuts, and their flag-waving, that's all that matters to them.
