So should Bush!!!

Maybe so, but I think dumping Cheney would cause Bush to lose his base of support.

I would argue Bush is far from moderate, but that is a debate that I don't have time for today. 
I just think if Bush really wants to mop this one up... he needs a new VP.

Helen, Bush is divisive in one key respect: After 9/11, he had the chance to bring the country together. He should have held a national unity government considering that, at the very least, he did not win the popular vote and that, I believe, he lost Florida as well. He didn't have to turn the reigns of power over but he should have brought several key democrats into the administration. He also should have announced "from this day on, there are no republicans or democrats. We are united as one in the war on terror."
What did he choose to do, instead? He claimed former Georgia senator Max Cleland was a Osama Bin Laden-loving, unpatriotic, traitor in one of the dirtiest campaigns in the history of America. Bush is no stranger to running divisive campaigns, of course. Remember what he did to John Mccain. John Mccain was a male (you know what-the first letters of the word are sl) who slept around with african American women and his wife was a mental case who was on the verge of suicide. That's what Bush said during the S.C primary in 2000.
Bush had the chance to raise himself above politics after 9/11 and lead the country as a nonpartisan President. He would have received 60% of the vote in 2004 if he had done that.
He never should have run the dirty campaign in 2000 or in the 2002 congressional elections.
He's also divisive for:
-telling the U.N where to go
-not signing Kyoto
He's divisive. Ronald Reagan was LOVED in Europe after 2 or three years, once the people got to know him. Bush, on the other hand, is HATED beyond belief in Europe.
And as Ron Reagan, son of the late president said, "My dad would never have gone to war in Iraq" and he said "my father, though a deeply religious man, never used his religion as a means to a political end."
That's why I find him divisive, Helen. That's why he has only a 45-48% approval rating.
I so wanted to support him after 9/11 and you know what I could even have supported him in Iraq, even after finding out there were no WMDs, if he hadn't been so partisan while at the same time claiming to be above partisanship.

I went to the Kerry/Edwards rally in Raleigh yesterday and it was amazing! 20,000 people packed into a relatively small place. That was the largest kerry rally yet. Things are looking up here in NC. We could definitly be a major battleground state. I was so close to them i got several great pics 
GO KERRY/EDWARDS!

If you think Kerry will win NC, you need to see a Psychatrist. LOL! Bush won that state by DOUBLE-DIGITS in 2000. No way in Heck it's going Blue this year.

you can forget this ticket taking NC. When it comes time for National Elections, NC always wakes up and makes the right decision.
btw....he can forget SC as well even though he plays the poor boy from Seneca card every chance he gets. We don't care if you worked on an Okra farm your whole life. Your a stinking trial lawyer now, and not a poor white boy from the South!
