WI: Bush 43 dies?

Then extreme reaction. We're looking at McCarthyism level stuff here. I wouldn't rule out vigilante killings. McCain will sweep the nomination. I can't remember Kerry's position on Iraq, but if he is against it then he's a no-hoper. I could see Clinton having a chance. Either way it's gonna be 1964 redux.

Kerry was for the war before he was against it.
 
The Bush/Kerry townhall debate sketch was one of the funniest things Myers ever did on SNL. I'll never forget him as John Kerry droning about his military decorations "A bronze star, a silver star, and three. purple. hearts."

Back in topic: If the order of presidents is Bush, Clinton, Bush, Cheney, Other Republican, then I think Hillary benefits immensely when she runs in 2008 as one of the knocks against her was the concern that were only electing the same two families to the White House over and over.

As far as 2004, I think a hawkish Democrat would have the upper hand if Bush were assassinated by a domestic terrorist the year before. Joe Lieberman would be a possibility in a field devoid of big names or real challengers.

Joe Lieberman is a very good idea! I think Wesley Clark has a good chance too.
