If Bush were to bow out of the race for some reason, wouldn't it be cool to see a Rice/Powell ticket? That'd sure liven up a race that is otherwise about to bore us all to tears. Imagine good-ole-boy conservatives choking on their beer and having to vote Democrat just to "keep the office pure". While "affirmative action" liberals would find themselves voting Republican. Yep. That'd be something to see. Perhaps in 2008?
