OOOohhh Now THIS is an interesting question - how would you answer?

[The Straight Story]

Had a get together at work late this afternoon (party of about 200) and me and some fellows were discussing Bill Clinton, how he couldn't run again, etc and so on.

So I asked:
Suppose Clinton found a loophole in the law - you can run again if you switch parties.

If he became an R, would you vote for him? Over who?

Follows up to that one, naturally:

Who would run against him and who would win who would lose against him?

How about a Clinton v. Clinton ticket...the list goes on.

And since Clinton could run again - so could *, as a D....



At any rate, it was getting lively when I had to book, so thought I would follow up here (and for the record, general consensus was they would vote for Bill since he proven he was a dem, versus someone else who switched parties and never served as president)

2. I don't think Big Dog would run again, even if he had the opportunity

I don't think his heart (no pun intended) would be in it as before.

5. If he did run, ya think he could beat Hillary ? (nt)

[Catherine Vincent]

10. Of course!

I like Hillary too but I love Big Dog more! :)

4. Other than the fact that there is no such loophole.

And if there were such a loophole, I doubt he'd become a Republican, but rather run as an independent.

7. Now that is interesting as well

Draw votes away from dems, rethugs wouldn't vote for him.

Could get interesting...

8. I would be willing to bet that there are millions of Republicans,

right now, who would vote to reelect Bill in a heartbeat. Regardless of what the fundies thought of him, real Republicans have to admit he was a damn good president (especially after seeing what a total fuck-in-clusters W is)...

6. No I wouldn't vote for him

Unless he ran against dubya.

9. Bush running as a Dem?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

He may as well run as a cabbage.

11. Rove could make it sound natural almost I am sure :)

"He want's to help repair america from the mess the republicans forced on him, blah, blah, blah"

[lonestarnot]

12. Check my constitution, will be back.

Nope can't, two terms served. Dat's all folks.

[Skittles]

13. I WILL NOT VOTE FOR A REPUBLICAN

PERIOD

[The Straight Story]

14. So if it was bush (D) versus clinton (R)? (nt)

[Skittles]

16. I would not vote

I refuse to vote republican

[smokey nj]

15. Forget about Clinton being able to run for President as a rethug....

Can you imagine the rethug reaction if THEIR "Prince and Princess of Darkness" actually joined their party? Would there be a break in the time/space continuum? Would they welcome them with open arms? Would there heads explode? I kind of hope it happens, just to see the reaction. :popcorn:

17. Nope, no loophole. Funny, the Constitution doesn't really mention parties.
