Well, unless the constitution gets amended AHHnald won't be able to run. However, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Hillary made a bid for the Democratic party nomination. I also wouldn't be surprised if Elizabeth Dole did the same in the Republican party. The 2008 elections should be full of surprises for everyone! I highly doubt Cheney would run, or even be nominated. Personally, given the fact that he won the popular vote in 2000 and was given Florida's electoral votes by the courts since Florida was a statistical dead tie, I think Al Gore would have won this time if he had been the party nominee. Perhaps he will run next time.
My biggest beefs with Bush: he declared war against a country that, while they certainly were our enemies, had not attacked us; he has given us a legacy again of huge deficit spending and increased government growth (and Republicans complain about Democrats????); who's administration has rolled back environmental protection on almost every front including wetland protection (I saw an SUV today that had both a Ducks Unlimited sticker and a Bush sticker on it, frankly I don't get it.); who's administration has made it easier for corporations to weasel out of cleaning up their toxic messes (us tax payers are footing most of the bills now for the cleanup of the super fund sites, the clean up of which has dropped by nearly half); and perhaps worst of all, has rolled back our individual freedoms under the so-called Patriot Act, which frightens me more than anyone trying to keep an assault weapon out of my hands any day of the week! Hmmm...I take that back, this administrations skewed views on patriotism and attempts to legislate morality may be the worst.
