Suppose, theoretically, that in one of the most stunning and tragic set of circumstances that Air Force One, and Kerry's plane collided in mid-air.

With the election five weeks away, the Republicans and Democrats have to choose new candidates. Who should they be?

Krusty the Clown's chain-smoking pet monkey for the Republicans and Big Bird for the Democrats.

I'd vote for Big Bird. Especially if Snuffy is his veep. *nod*

Sad thing is it couldn't be worse than who's running things now.

Choosing between those two is almost as bad as having to choose between Bush and Kerry.

They are nice comparisons. The monkey would sit on his ass all day and not really do anything, even in times of a crisis. We can compare this to Bush. Big Bird would support all the morals that tree-huggers support and appeal to little kids. We can compare this to Kerry.

By the way i'm partly a tree hugger too, just so you know i'm not dissing them or anything.

Well, choosing between Edwards and Cheney would be easy.

breaks into a sweat at the idea of a President Cheney.

Last time I checked, Kerry scared little kids, so I don't know how good that analogy holds up.

I'd like to see how John Ashcroft would do against Barack Obama. I would want Obama to kick Ashcroft's ass.

Lol. Obama wouldn't even have to be alive to beat Ashcroft.

Even if it all (including the mass of their combined egos) fell on Nader, it couldn't kill him. Ralph Nader is super human. Nader is beyond godly. When scared Nader can expand his body to several times its actual size to ward of predators.
Only one of the things in this post is a complete lie, can you guess which one?

The part where you said only one thing was a complete lie?

Very good, normally it takes people longer to figure that one out.

John McCain

Dick Gephardt

Good choices but I'm not sure that's what the parties would choose right now. A good quick guess would be Cheney and Edwards, as they are the VP coices. An interesting, if not so likely scenario would be Laura vs Teresa.

Andrew Johnson, Grant, Harding, FDR, Lyndon B Johnson, and several others make Bush look good. Bush is not the worst we've had.
