In my opinion, this is a non-productive idea. First of all, President Bush is loyal, and is not going to dump Cheney.

Secondly, any advantage you imagine by having Guiliani on the ticket would be negated by people who would be antagonized and would not vote, including pro-life people and other conservatives who like Cheney.

Third, the changing of the ticket would cause demoralization, as it would be seen as a move made due to panic. Negative press would ensue, and we would have to hear about Guiliani's divorce all over again. His ex-wife would take to the television and radio with all sorts of gossip.

This is not a practical idea, and I want to win as much as you do. This won't do it, however.

regarding your points:

I discussed the first, Bush's personal loyalty, above. It is my view that Bush must rethink this; the moral imperative here is the greater, collective loyalty to the Constitution.

I referenced the second point when I stated that conservatives must look beyond the provincial in these lethally dangerous times. Will conservatives really consign their children's fate to a Pres. Kerry?

Third point: I suspect that changing the ticket would energize at least as many as it would demoralize.
