Hillary Clinton/ Evan Bayh
Linda Lingle/ Rudy Guiliani

[Max Power]

This is:
Bill Richardson/ Rick Perry
Rick Santorum/ Dick Cheney

Rick Perry, after defecting to the Democratic Party to avoid a primary fight with Senator Kay Baily Hutchinson, has become a Democratic star. He easily won re-election, and delivers Texas to the Democrats. Bill Richardson, who also wins re-election, runs for president and wins the Democratic primary.

Rick Santorum, to please the lobbyists who gave money to his campaign, convinces Dick Cheney to stay as Vice President. He leads in the polls, but he makes a gaffe Reagan-style. Thinking the microphone is off, he says of the GLBT protesters who are interupting him "Damn gays!! When I become presidents, I'll kill them all!!". The audience was shocked, and so was America. He drops to last place in every state, but makes a last-minute comeback, winning a few states:

Isn't this like fantasy or something? I think this thread is about 2008 predictions..

What are you talking about?

[Max Power]

Your predictions are redicolous Casey.

Pardon me, but what do you mean by "redicolous"?

[Max Power]

Casey Resse, stop being a shower guy. 330 EV for Kerry! LMBBO (Laugh my blue balls off)

Maybe you should take a shower, you retarded nicompoop. And don't tell us why your balls are blue.

[Max Power]

I'm not going to offer any "fantasy" predictions but one thing that should be factored into all these projections is that Rick Santorum is likely to get a well deserved hiding in the 2006 mid-term elections and sent packing from Capitol Hill.     

That will kill stone dead any hopes he or his merry band of far right followers have of him appearing on the national GOP ticket in 2008. 

By '08 he will be a political has-been with his unsavoury stint as a Seantor nothing more than a bad memory for moderate and liberal politicos.

All the polls show him trailing likely Democratic challenger Bob Casey. The latest one I have seen shows Casey opening up a 15 point lead against the bigoted junior senator from Pennsylvania. 

His extremist views would be out of kilter even in a number of GOP states such as Nevada, Arizona etc. let alone Democratic trending Pennsylvania! 

Anyways I look forward to him being finally turfed out and brought to book for his obnoxious pronouncements on a whole raft of social issues, particularly on LGBT rights.   

I expect the same thing to happen to the equally bigoted but more opportunistic Mitt Romney in the Governors race in Massachusetts, providing of course he has the guts to face the voters of the state he ridiculed and insulted recently while pandering to the homophobic base of his national party.   

Like his ideological soul-mate Santorum, this should bring his White House ambitions also to a crashing halt.

Santorum and Romneys defeats and a big re-election win for Hillary in NY will be the '06 highlights for me!     

Roll on the elections....

Welcome to the board! Glad to see somebody with common sense!

He needs to brush his teeth as well.

What teeth?

Thanks for the laugh.

Thanks for the pie.

Good for Senator Santorum, the mainstream compassionate conservative, steering a balanced,  moderate course, one that is fair to all Americans.

He is working to keep America from degenerating into a cesspool of immorality, debauchery and decadence.

America does not have to cow tow to the radical gay agenda, just because the raving looney left wingnuts say so.   

Are you on drugs?!?!
