No Good Options

It is rumored that George W. Bush might dump Dick Cheney before the 2004 election. Dick Cheney, as everyone with eyes to see knows, is a class A creep and his massively unpopular. Getting rid of him would be a good move for Bush politically. However, the man who is said to be at the top of the short list to replace the current VP, Rudolph Guliani has liabilities of his own. Guliani, is a bit too New York for a lot of Bush's supporters. Remember that Rudy has endorsed Democrats in the past, had an affair, divorced his wife, married his mistress and is pro-choice. That isn't going to make a lot of christian fundementalists want to jump out of their pews and pull the lever for Bush-Guliaini. Then again, he tried to bully the Brooklyn museum for having an exhibit that was "anti-religious", needlessly antagonized New York's minorities (Bloomberg is much better about race relations than Rudy ever was) and loves rich people and big corporations, so it is possible that all will be forgiven.
