Since Bush is the incumbent and is relatively popular, there's just no competition for the Republican nomination.

Daria carpal tunnel Registered: 24/01/2002 Posts: 3937 Loc: Providence, RI	In general the incumbent president's party just renominates him, so it will be Bush versus whoever wins the Democratic nomination, and the usual crop of 3rd party candidates.

pgrzelak carpal tunnel Registered: 15/08/2000 Posts: 4859 Loc: New Jersey, USA	!!! I did not visit this thread previously, thinking it was a joke site I would check out later... In many ways, this is a fairly practical use of the internet and 1-click. In many more ways, this is horrifying!!! _________________________ *Paul Grzelak* 200GB with 48MB RAM, Illuminated Buttons and Digital Outputs

tanstaafl. carpal tunnel Registered: 08/07/1999 Posts: 5543 Loc: Ajijic, Mexico	I've sometimes considered filing for election to the State House of Representatives, or perhaps State Senate. Not with any intent of seriously running for election... but think how good it would look on a resume! tanstaafl. _________________________ "There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch"

TheRhino member Registered: 06/03/2001 Posts: 135 Loc: Aurora, CO	From the FAQ... Will Amazon.com transfer information about me? As required by law, Amazon.com will transfer to the campaign(s) to which you contribute your name and address (your credit card billing address) and the date and amount of your contribution. If your contribution is for Al Sharpton, you will immediately be thrown into a mental institution, or kicked out of the country Ok, well I put the last part in there... _________________________ Rhino [color:"blue"]Rio MKII 60GB Blue[/color] [color:"orange"]empeg MKII 50GB Amber[/color]
