Reply #4: Who would Bush pick? [View All]

[Jack Rabbit]

He could pick a right wing ideologue and get away with it, as Nixon could not in 1973 when Vice President Agnew resigned. Nixon chose Gerald Ford, a sober conservative but not regrded as very bright. Ford still made a better president than Nixon.

I agree, the best thing is to drive them both out at the same time. However, then we would be dealing with what kind of president Hastert would be.

Hastert would also have to pick a number of cabinet members and other high ranking officials as well. Remember, we are looking at the prospect of a real blood bath.
