In so many ways, it appears that Kerry really doesn't want this chance to be president.
My point is not to prove this, I just want to know what will happen if Kerry at the end of August
suddenly stands up and says; "You know what forget it, Im outa here."

What then?

What is the redundant plan in the dnc to handle this scenario?
:confused:

What's the RNC plan in case Bush realizes he's running this country into the ground and decides not to run?

And I "just want" to know what'll happen if, come August, George Bush suddenly admits he's a clueless doofus WAY in over his head who really really craves a good stiff drink and a big fat line and has decided that, sorry Laura, but he wants to make Condi a honest woman and would Daddy please buy him another big company so he can retire from public life and become, in about two months time, a small businessman.

I don't think either of us should hold his breath or even seriously petition the Make A Wish Foundation, though.

I am not holding my breath or hoping for anything, and to study political science would be a task
I would like to avoid. (go ahead and say it) It is just something I have contemplated and I am truly curious.

Surely someone here knows, or would care to speculate?

Obviously they would pick a candidate. They'd go with someone who was strong in the primaries, like Dean or Edwards, or they would pick someone like Hilary Clinton. In that scenario ever happened, Bush would be a lock to win in November unless a) Bush did something extremely stupid, b) the DNC and the candidate have an excellent 3 month campaign, or c) The Iraq War/Economy are not as good as we hoped they would be.

I certainly don't see where you get this idea from, especially since it seems that Bush would much rather spend time on his ranch than fulfilling his duties.

Zephyr

Nader....Nah... He just wants to send a message.. If he can't be president, he'll ruin the chances of the better person for the job i.e. Al Gore, and John Kerry..

I believe that John Kerry can beat Bush, I think however that if he selects John Edwards as his VP, it will be a cakewalk for him... Bush would go back crying to his Crawford Texas ranch and contemplate; or at least try, to figure out why he was such an idiot.

Lets Go with that argument of who would be the lesser of two evils.

A republican president with a republican Senate and house and a slightly right leaning Supreme court


OR

A democrat president with a republican Senate and house and a slightly right leaning Supreme court


Kerry could do no damage. The GOP congress and Senate are excellent at being a thorn in the Side of a Democratic President. The are lackeys under a GOP president.

The "Lesser Evil" would be when Congress and the President can keep each other in Check.

Go Take A high school Government course and Youll see. Read up on the Balance of Power. Your Statement is trollish, ignorant, Sophmoric, and Partisan. Oh and By the Way, Nobody Cares how good of a Pc your Mom Bought you on this board.

If Kerry Keeps thinking he can run on the Perception that he is a Hero is he gonna be a Big loser. He's Not re;easing his records to the public you have to be a member of the press and have to go to a campaign office and take notes NO COPIES. And that is if you are lucky some have been turned away.

I don't care if they say if he was a yellow coward I bet he was 4 months in Nam... What are you gonna do for us tomorrow??? I think he has done a lousy job in the last 2 weeks. Accountability Damnit! get some!

Oh yeah, Kerry would be a bang-up president. He doesn't even know what side of the issues he stands on from day to day. He would probably declare war on Uganda one day, then send over a trade agreement later that afternoon.

If you all don't like Bush, that is fine and dandy, but dear God to support Kerry is just scary as hell. Why couldn't you all have pulled your head out of your collective asses and get Lieberman to be the front runner. I know a lot of Republicans would vote for him (myself included).

The question should have been does the DNC or Clintons really want Kerry to be president in 04,

well here's the issue that I just don't understand. Politicians will do and say anything to get elected, but once elected what makes you think that they'd still be doing the same thing?

This is another good way to ask the question and as each day goes by I can't help but think
there is a strategy here by the dnc to have someone other than Kerry running against Bush.

Consider the money that rnc has spent vs the amount by the dnc.

It would appear that the dnc is saving its wad for a rainy day, while positioning itself to force
the expenditure of funds by The Bush team.

If some one else is thrown in the mix at the last minute (and there is precedent for this thinking) would
team Bush be able to afford the challenge?

I was really hoping that someone that posts here would actually know the protocol to the
question posed in my OP.

Still think that Hillary will be pining for the 08 election, so getting kerry into office now would be a bad thing for her, especially if he is sucessful...I wouldn't be surprised if something is done later in the year to sabotage his campaign.

08 is the current thinking, 04 would be a surprise attack..
