Worst Case sCenarios

Does anyone think that major revisions of the tax system could occur?  The flat tax or national sales tax will certainly look appealing to Bushy's mulit-millionaire constituency.

 but then, that's par for the course for presidents that are re-elected. . .

Tom Ridge is a good man.  I, for one, will be sorry to see him go.

President Bush said today that his election victory Tuesday has given him "political capital" that he intends to spend on the major goals of his second-term agenda, including overhaul of the Social Security system and the tax code.

 Roe v Wade will be likely be overturned, and most of the middle of the country will outlaw abortion.

Very unlikely. The only thing that has been holding this Republican party together is that since Roe v. Wade the abortion issue is somewhat off the table. Right now the GOP is a coalition of the social conservatives (i.e. those who are pro-life, 'moral-values' types) and the *real* Republicans (in the Madisonian sense of the word) who are all about keeping the federal gov't out of people's business. Get rid of Roe v. Wade and the big chasm opens right back up... and believe me, the GOP know that.

yeah, it was reagan.  bush the elder was, in reality, very moderate (and pragmatic, more importantly) on lots of things.  one of the many reasons why he wasn't re-elected was because social conservatives didn't trust him, and didn't go out and vote for him. [/b]

well i'm old and 12 years ago is a long to time to remember all the details.

fun to say, but it leaves out the fact that it was well known that if the dead man won, his wife would serve in his place, it was a sympathy vote
