Following a tangent in the comments section, I posted:
As to 2008.
I think the obvious, but overlooked, ticket for the left is Clinton/Clinton. There's no clause preventing a former President from serving as a Vice-President, is there?
;-)
As to an pleasing (sounding) ticket for the other party, how about Rice/Bol (as in Mnute Bol the former NBA star)?
Actually, I think I'd like Rice/Thompson (Fred) for '08.
Update: Commenter Jack over at Confederate Yankee educates me regarding my ignorance of the 12th Amendment. To wit,
Twelve Ammendment (sic):
" .... But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."
I loooooove the self-correcting nature of the blogosphere. Imagine if we can get our Congresscritters to interact with us in such a manner.
