Watching After Words on CSPAN tonight. Newt was the featured guest and at the end of the interview, he seemed beyond confident that Dick Cheney would be the Republican nominee for President in 2008. Thanks to the mediocre list of candidates floating around, I assume most freepers are very excited about the possibility.
I previously thought there wasn't a chance in hell of Cheney running in 08. As such, Jeb Bush was my first choice. But Newt seemed so certain, so assured of his prediction that I am ecstatic about the possibility.
"Bill Sammons on Fox Sunday today predicted Jeb Bush was being groomed."
That would certainly be A-OK with me!
I can't watch Letterman or Leno or SNL without keeping my thumb on the mute button.
Its a prediction that is already wrong.
Jeb has indicated (repeatedly, and now angrily) that he will not run for president in 2008.
I almost feel bad for any reporter who asks him again, Jeb gets visibly angry about it now.
I love it!
Can I get one for my car? I'd bet it would have no paint on it in a week - from all the DUmmies keying it!
LOL!
The cyberschool thing is a mess he's radioactive now I'm afraid.
Don't know if ya'll will understand this but here goes:
I love Cheney, I love his wife a lot also, therefore I hope he doesn't run----
Sometimes you just like someone so much, that for their sakes you just let them go and this is one of those times.
I would love for he and Lynne to be Pres and First Lady but it has been sssss0000 nasty for 4 going on 8 years for them that they will deserve the freedom of their ranch in Wyoming.
But Cheney, I don't know ... He doesn't have to do anything else to earn my respect--he's got it in spades. And take Newt with a grain of salt. IIRC, he was criticising Bush and war effort in '04 during the heat of the campaign. The hell was he thinking? Anyway, if Jeb got the nomination in '08, the left would go absolutely bonkers! That alone is worth throwing his hat in the ring.
Just like Kerry was about his prostate cancer.
Cheney/Anyone in 2008 would make Dole/Kemp 1996 look like a dream ticket.
"Jeb gets visibly angry about it now."
Oops, didn't know that. Sounded good to me, though.
I hope whomever we nominate is a good, strong candidate and can crush Hillary under his/her heel!
A CFR insider, NO WAY!!
Then why is he going overseas? Why not send Rudy or some other high-profile candidate?
What cyberschool thing?
I agree with you 100%
Let's not forget that Dick Cheney got his job because of his stunning good looks.
A winner for the female vote....
Dole/Kemp '96 = Mondale/Ferraro '84
Shows what I know...
No chance. He's got serious Arab problems.
It's under the radar now and may be a non-starter but I have a notion this is waiting if Santorum attempts to break out. Put nothing by the rats and the MSM.
