Maybe it's time to make Zaknafien happy -- and vote for Ron Paul.

Say what you want about his sanity or his policy ideas, he really would spend most of his term (at least until the impeachment) dismantling the federal government in large chunks.

Thus, we fulfill Prole's suggestion of a terrible President while also getting a President who's actively trying to take apart the bloated acretia that is the executive branch. Chaos prime.


What we probably have though is Rudy v. Hil' and a guaranteed New York presidency. Right now, I'd call it 60-40 Hil's favor, since she's an experienced national campaigner and quite willing to go for the opponent's electoral jugular. There will probably be 3rd party types who siphon off significant votes as in 2K. The campaign between these two, abetted by the third party haranguers, will make sure that the negatives are so high that both major candidates are loathed by a majority of the population even before they take office.

Then the winner will have about 90 days of hoopla -- through the innaug -- before we get down to the serious business of ignoring governance in favor of positioning for the 2010 elections.
