1. I'm all for it

Bush would get hit... you might think about how Dean would also get hit as well though if he was running in the GE.

6. Right on!

Roy Moore in 04!

Catchy isn't it? He would pull so much away from Bush in the southern states. Maybe a dem will finally win a southern state for once.

4. Run Ross Run

any way i saw this and think yall might find it interesting
Buchanan more spoiler than Nader, in state-based analysis
The conventional view is that Nader cost Gore a victory, while Buchanan was not a factor, because Nader won 2.8 million votes to Buchanan�s 450,000. But the key question is which states were so close that third-party voters could have made a difference, had they instead voted for Bush or Gore.
There were 8 states in which no candidate received a majority of votes. In ME and NE, Gore won , so those are moot. In FL and NH, Bush won, but by fewer votes than Nader received .
In the remaining four states, IA, NM, OR, and WI, Buchanan�s vote total exceeded the difference between Gore and Bush. Combined, these four states account for 30 electoral votes, or one more than FL and NH combined. In other words, if Buchanan has dropped out and his supporters had switched to Bush, Bush would not have needed Florida to become president. "�../askme/election_by_state.htm�"

7. I'd be ecstatic if he would just do anti-deficit infomercials again....

We need someone with charts and diagrams explaining in simple terms how Bush is engineering a fiscal trainwreck.
