i doubt dick's leaving tomorrow, but he's not staying the full term. karl knows damn well he needs someone other than one of those maniacs from the senate or house who are going to be screaming for the nomination. the only way he gets someone he wants without too much blood being shed (now don't despair there will be bloodshed, make no mistake about that) is to backdoor them into the hearts of the gop faithful as vp. if, and it's a big if, bush manages to turn some public sentiment over the next two years then his endorsement will be like gold to a vp who's seen with him more and more towards the end of his term. if on the other hand the ship starts sinking, all bets are off and it's a dogfight in the primaries and a democratic win in '08.
