being reported on fox this morning that it is a possibility.

I'm going to have to learn more about Guliani. Pennsylvanians got burned-sort of. We elected a popular big-city mayor as governor. Ed Rendell was mayor of Phila. He's gregarious like Guliani and was popular as mayor. He also had the reputation of someone who got things done, but seemed just a bit shady. He's turning out to be very liberal, and he's pushing gambling. Most people from the heartland don't really care for him. Of course he's a democrat, and that may be the difference between him and Guliani.

I was told about a month ago that Cheney was not going to run with Bush. My source would not tell me who it is though.

j can confirm this because I told him. lol

Hey....wait a sec Helen.....I thought that too...you just beat me to it!

btw....linda is right....she told me this a long time ago, per the inside scoop.

WOW.....this would rock. And it would get rid of the Cheney health problem. LOL. I love Guliani, and I have always thought he should run as vp or for president.

It wouldn't get rid of Cheney's health problem, it would still be there if he wasn't VP.

I know what you meant KC, but the wording just made me laugh.

I remember you posted that Helen, last week I think.

Smart move on their part.

Poor Cheney...having to potentially clean up the MESS that Tenet left behind!

Eric

wow.. Keep us posted on this.. Was this on there website? This would be big.

Is Bush scared that he might lose the election w/ Cheney as his running mate and this would just add to his popularity?

Not a chance on your thinking about popularity. Cheney is in poor health and everyone knows it.

That's part of it, but dumping Cheney has pros and cons.

A lot of swing voters may not like Cheney and if Bush were to replace him, he might pick up some of those voters.

On the other hand, if Bush dumps Cheney, some Republicans may desert him and not vote in November. Giulani is more of a moderate and that would turn his base off, but it might help swing voters and even moderate Democrats who don't like Flipper Kerry.

The swing voters are what will decide this election.

You are right about the Conservatives because they feel that Guiliani is not as conservative as they would like him to be.

Giuliani would be a big boost to the sagging Bush campaign.

I just do not think that he would want to align himself with such an unpopular administration. Doesnt make sense for him.

Cheney might go, but I dont think it will be Rudy.

Good point, and absolutely a contributing factor.

We've been through some of this already in a previous discussion. There are good points on both sides of this possibly very sensitive issue. It will be very interesting to see how this plays out, especially now that it appears to have hit the media.

thanks. i am sure he would be tough on terrorists, but before i could support him he would have to guarantee he would be in favor of taxcuts, and ss privitization

Why does Rudy have to be VP to challenge Hillary??

If Cheney's health is a factor, I sure hope they arent going to put him in the CIA..LOL.....

Bush's approval rating is terrible, he is polling poorly and this would help his chances.
