Whew ... I initially thought we were talking about Barney Frank. I got light-headed there for a minute.
Me too!

barney is being considered for the dim tickets I heard. Both the purple one and gay one.

Franks makes as much sense as pretty boy Wesley Clark.
Why not tap Shinseki? You want to look good to the American people, admit to the mistakes of the Republican administration and republican controlled congress of the 2000-2004 era by bringing in the man who called Bush out on the rug months before we invaded Iraq.
The big wig armchair warriors in the Rep. national party would never allow such an offense to their manliness to occur. And everyone in the country would see through such a ploy as shear duplicity and vote pandering. Just like putting Franks on the ballot would.
This post wasn’t meant to take away from Franks accomplished career, this was aimed at the politicos who float idiotic rumors like this.

Better light in the head than light in the loafers.

BUT ... with Franks in this go-around as VP, he could be the Pres. Candidate later WITH Ptetaeus ...then I would have to go on sensory overload and pass out!

You got light-headed, I felt momentarily light in the loafers at the mere thought of My Boy Lollipop in the Oval Office, or (more likely) tapping on the door, trying to get in.....

Sadly, the only postwar President to come directly from the military was Ike. We all know that Ike was too accomodating to the opposition party then.

General Franks as a lightning rod?
Because that is what he would become, under any Republican Presidency. Not because of what he is, or what he says, but that is how the opponents arrayed against the Republicans direct their attentions. If one studies how the attacks are now directed agains the Bush Administration, very few of then actually land on Bush himself. They hit at Attorneys General, Secretaries of State, Secretaries of Defense, and high-ranking White House aides. They even spend more time running down Dick Cheney, than George W. Bush. Bush, they dismiss as not being very smart, and yet, somehow, he keeps on outfoxing them.
But really, being a general and in charge of marshalling a widespread and diverse military is WAY better preparation for the job than idling away on the back bench in the Senate.

See my #26, to see how painful the thought was for me.

I believe both Quayle and Ford were US senators prior to being VP.

"Why not tap Shinseki"
No, not only no, but HELL NO. That is an idea that is a nonstarter. A general has no right to call a POTUS out on the rug when he SERVES UNDER HIM. We are not a military dictatorship. Civilian leadership controls our military. Anyone that does not like that, I will gladly pay for their ticket to the closest banana republic. Shiniski is no different than Wesley Clark, both are aholes lacking in professionalism. BTW, you sound like a Jersey Girl.

He would be a big help to the GOP in Florida and Virginia.
