One of the more interesting political discussions going around now is how the Bush campaign will react to the Kerry campaign's move of picking Edwards as his running mate. This otherwise straightforward article has the niftiest suggestion to date:
Bush will drop Cheney from the ticket, and replace him with someone more exciting, and with less baggage -- think John McCain, Rudy Giuliani, Colin Powell, or, my favorite, Condi Rice.
I like Ms. Rice as well, but I personally think Giuliani will be picked (if anyone). However, I have to root for McCain simply for the potential Nomad-like meltdown it could produce in my brother, who is both a huge supporter of McCain and a huge opponent of Bush.
I doubt he'd pick Powell, even if he were to make a strange backup and drop Cheney. I think Bush and Powell disagreed too much over Iraq, and I'd expect someone with more ambition for political power to be chosen.
I gotta look up more about him. Still trying to figure out who to vote for/write in in November.
