Will Rove survive the week? Cheney? Frankly I doubt it. Rove is a no-brainer. How can this President keep him around as tainted and ineffectual as he has become? He'll be offered as the sacrificial lamb to soften us up for Cheney's replacement.
Cheney, on the other hand, will likely follow Rumsfeld into early retirement, leaving Shrub an opportunity to select his successor, McCain. They'll want this all to happen under this Congress and Senate, so watch for all of these moves this week.
The very last thing the Republicans want is Speaker Pelosi in the Oval Office and they won't care how much blood they shed to stave that off. Cheney is expendable. Bush too. Look for 1/3 of the Republican Senators to support impeachment.
And who will President McCain appoint as his VP? None other than the man from Connecticut. The grand reunification of the country with a "new" agenda.
A clean slate to write the same sad story on for another two years.
Come hell, high water or a mad electorate, there will NOT be windfall profits taxes on big oil and we'll stay in Iraq as long as it takes to stave off the realization that fossil will be unaffordable in 10 years anyway. We can't impeach Exxon or vote it out of office.
