AH Challenge: Unseat Bush!

Your challenge - which will probably be near impossible - should you choose to accept it, is to have any Republican politician challenge President George W. Bush for the Republican nomination for president in 2004. You get the regular amount of points if you have that candidate pose a good-sized threat to Bush in the primaries. Double the points if you get that candidate to win the Republican nomination and defeat Bush, though that will be near impossible. Triple the points if you can have that alternate Republican nominee beat the Democrats. If you get a strong third party candidacy in the general campaign as well, then you're cheating:p;) But you still get quadruple points.

I realize this would be an ASB scenario if I limited to the POD to June 2003, so I'll let the earliest POD be no earlier than September 12, 2001.

Bush dies choking on a pretzel in January 2004 after ballots have made for several of the primaries and thus technically he still runs for the nomination. When Cheney hears he dies of a heart attack. Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert becomes president, and the Republican Party rallies around him carrying him to an easy primary victory and a narrow victory in the general.
