Will a Repub challenger to Bush* emerge?
I think shrub has gone off the deep end. True conservatives have to be freaking out. They're screwed if shrub wins again, and they're screwed if the Dems win.

So I think a conservative challenger may just be a possibility. I am still investigating the delegate selection process, but at first glance it looks like the 'Pubs have no national rules- each state decides how to allocate delegates. But assuming that a challenge is feasible at this late date, I think it would be very interesting. Unless a potential crossover candidate like John McCain steps in, it would be great to see the 'Pubs have to duke it out for a while.

And in fact there ARE challengers out there. Here's one:

And there is a site soliciting a challenger:

How about Lincoln Chafee? Or Olympia Snowe?

Thanks to http://www.thegreenpapers.com/ for lots of great information.

1. No Way
Repubs would never allow it. Too much money involved in the Bush junta.

I doubt even the right-fringe would dare try.

2. Well if guys like Michael Savage and
Don Imus are bailing on him, that's got to mean something.

Paul O'Neill, John Di'Iulio, The CIA, Joseph Wilson, Jim Jeffords.... how many of these guys does it take to reach critical mass?

6. IMUS has been bailing..
* did it to himself..however, the BIG guys are controlling the show..remember way back there were posts on DU that said that * hasn't a clue as to what sheeney's doing behind his back and when he realizes, too bad..
Makes you wonder why and when he put that hospital-like emergency room in the "basement" of the home he's occupying, the one that kept all the neighbors awake during late hours all nite long..There's more to this yet..How can woman live with him also, but she's not much to look at either!

7. "Sheeney"????????
You mean the Jews are pulling his strings? Is that what you mean? IS IT?

The white Protestant nazi grandson is just a puppet OF THE JEWS?

Is this the liberal position?

5. Go Pat Go!
Pat Buchanan can take a significant chunk of the right wing vote if he jumps in.
