Do you think this scenario might happen? [View All]

Bush is out of the country. His numbers are in the toilet. It's pretty acknowledged that he is a puppet, a figurehead, the Prince to Rove/Cheney's Machiavelli.

So, as he's flying home, something happens, and the plane goes down. No survivors. Suddenly, the nation is in "mourning".

What could be described as "the JFK effect" might be played. The Repukes might use this to push their agenda on the sympathy factor. They're probably even banking on it.

Cheney would be elevated to the official position that he has been playing since 1/20/2001 . . . he will be sworn in as President. However, he might refuse, and the nation gets a "new" unelected president/puppet (unlikely that the replacement would be a puppet . . . I don't see any of the recent Repukes who would be willing to just be the puppet).

Whomever is elevated to the pResidency would have the Repuke nomination sewn up in 08 . . . and play up HUGH111!!11 on they sympathy ("The JFK Effect") factor.

It could happen . . .
