Biden in '08?

I'd vote for him, and McCain is looking grim...

I'm no McCain fan. I think he's the current frontrunner for the GOP ticket.
Biden. Blowhard. I like him.

You're kidding yourself if you think McCain is a frontrunner.
All things Bush/Cheney/Rove want Frist. He's very "loyal."
Even Romney is unlikely to get broad GOP suppport.

A little bit crusty Quinnipiac poll from March. Yes 3 months is ages as far as handicapping elections go, I forgot where I saw a similar one last week.
Frist is a partisan hack. He's not even a good one. He provided a diagnosis based on a videotape! C'mon, the GOP has got to be smarter than putting their eggs in Frist's basket.
Romney owns more flip-flops than Kerry, he's a dead duck too.

I like McCain. According to his 'Meet The Press" interview yesterday, he tries to stay in line with the ideologies of Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Reagan.

I like that McCain understands what 'ideology' means.
Here's a fun idea that popped up at dinner last night: Anyone willing to bet that Bush could pass the MCAS?
Posted by rladew on 2005-06-20 17:22:07 +0000
Id guess that he'd score about one point higher than Kerry would :0 )
Dont know if that would mean he would pass, though.

Back to the matter at hand: Are there any philosophical underpinnings to Bush's modus operandi? Is he even bothered by the fact that as a sum total, his actions cannot be described within a ideological framework?
Don't tell me ideology is a bad word.

I've always thought of Bush as the kind of guy who would feel comfortable inside a pinball machine. I don't think it bothers him at all.

Maybe I shouldn't be so concerned. How can he be bothered by an inconsistent world view if he can't recognise the inconsistencies?

Yep, [url=http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,160222,00.html] Frist is done.[/url]
