Poll question: Dubya vs. Bill Clinton?
It's a possibility, so what do you think?

If the Constitution was changed in a way that would allow it and Bush ran for a third term against Bill Clinton, what would happen?

1. Another stolen election.
Bill would be far, far ahead in the exit polling all day long... then it would all magically turn around in the late evening for Dubya.

4. Really.
I don't foresee any election ever not being stolen. Now that they know how to do it with ease and still manage to show their arrogant faces to the nation, and the world at that.

Less Kerry, Pelosi, Reed, Conyers, Kennedy and Boxer come-up with a plan real soon. Like ATM-type voting where we actually get a receipt to wave in proof!

6. The WAR ROOM!!
Bill Clinton would fire up the War Room. Shrub would try to smear hum, steal the election etc..but Bill wouldn't let him get away with it.

2. Highest voter turnout ever!!
People would line up for hours, and there would probably be fistfights!!

However, Bill would pick up all the people who voted for Bush because they couldn't make heads or tails of what the f John Kerry was talking about, so it would be a landslide!

:)

11. I tend to agree...
And I think it'd be cathartic and good for the nation.

5. African American voters would be re-energized and flock to the polls.

7. it would be a good test

If the shrub won...I would know it was rigged.

9. I think the Democratic Party...
...should be working to set up just that scenario. It would bring to a head all of the so-called red state/blue state rifts. It would be cathartic for the nation.

10. I think we'd have another civil war!
The extreems on both sides would actually try to kill each other.

The Pugs hated Clinton every bit as much as we hate Shrub. Neither side would ever stand for it!

13. There has been talk that...
...the GOP wants to amend the Constitution to allow foreign-born people to run (meaning Ahhnold). And apparently, some Dems will back that if the amendment also removes presidential term limits.

In theory, this could set a contest between Bill Clinton and GW.

I know this seems like a long-shot. But I would love to see it happen.

14. Bill would wipe the floor with *
But is * pushed this amendment, then Scottie boy would defenitely raise the fact that Clinton would run again, so the shrub would say "forget it" to the amendment.

Besides, Bill's replacing Kofi Annon next year anyway.

15. Shrubco Nightmare!!
People still love President Clinton and would turn out in millions to support him. Hell, the Big Dawg would likely carry much of the South as well.
