LD, Dragon2fire was referring to an earlier post by me. He made the blanket statement that you don't drop your v.p. I pointed out that FDR did, and he apparently doesn't think that was such a stong point. Fair enough, except for the fact that several news agencies(reputable ones-if there are in fact reputable news agencies) have reported this rumor - yes rumor. However, given the Vice-President's less than top-notch ticker and the fact that he can be a controversial figure (particularly with his ties to Halliburton) I can guarantee that it has been discussed and is being discussed, problably with him in the room. He is not an idiot and neither are Mr. Rove, Ed Gillespie and President Bush.
Now, I can't imagine Powell wanting the spot, but he would be a good choice. I don't think Condi Rice is the right choice, but I think her day may come. The one option I am hearing from some friends at the RNC is to bring up Tom Ridge and slide Rudy G into the Homeland Security spot.
