Democrats to Target Cheney | ||||
2004-04-26 | ||||
Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) and the Democratic Party will open a week-long assault on Vice President Cheney today in hopes that tarring him as promoting secrecy and controversial policies will erode confidence in President Bush. Cheney is less popular than Bush in polls, and Democratic strategists said they need to further inhibit the vice president's effectiveness as Bush's attack messenger.
Bush aides said they considered it a victory to have Kerry campaigning against Cheney instead of Bush and talking about national security.

Kobe Bryant trial - est start June after NBA. Michael Jackson trial - sometime this summer or fall. Bill Clinton's book release late June, tour of every talkshow on earth for weeks to follow. DNC Convention - July 25 - 29. RNC Convention and riot - Aug 29 - Sept 2. |

#4 B, I like the Rice VP idea but she has said she has no interest in elected office. She wants to be NFL commissioner or something. I think its unlikely she'd be a VP candidate. I think Rudi Guliani would be a better choice. Rudi has national name recognition. He's tough, yet compassionate. He'd be a nightmare for the Democrats to deal with. Either way Cheney should step aside. I like him, but he has heart problems that ensure he will not be president in 2008, leaving the Republicans without the incumbant advantage. |

#2 good! - no offense intended to Cheney, but maybe Bush will replace him with Rice - which would assure his reelection and set her up to defeat Hillary next time around. |

#1 Ah, the WaPo on its daily journey of trying to destroy President Bush... I love the headline..."to target" like it's a new, future thing. The Dims have been targeting Cheney and Rumsfeld and Rice and Rove...ad infinitum for months now if not years! Remember before 9/11 the LLL media called Bush Admin officials like Cheney "retreads?" Then, right after 9/11, it was "Thank God Bush's Cabinet has such experienced professionals!" |
