President Bush chokes on pretzel

[Mr. Morden]

You have four different candidates winning primaries in one party, and *five* different candidates winning primaries in the other party?  That seems a little far fetched.  Even in the wide open GOP primary race of 2008, only three candidates won any primaries.  The last time we had a nomination race with more than 3 candidates winning primaries was the Dem. race in 1992.

Also, if Cheney was president, I doubt he would have waited until as late as March 2003 to invade Iraq. 

[Mr. Morden]

So  you think Dick Cheney would have invaded Iraq earlier, interesting?

Bush went to the UN and got inspectors back into Iraq.  Then, once he decided the inspections weren't good enough, there was a brief flirtation with the possibility of trying to get a second UN resolution to authorize force, but that was abandoned when everyone realized that it wouldn't pass.

Would Cheney have gone through with any of that?  I'm not so sure.
