Headline from today's Washington Post
State Dept. Changes Seen if Bush Reelected
Powell and Armitage Intend to Step Down
Powell signals he won't serve if Bush elected for 2nd term
That would leave open the possibility for Colin Powell to remain as Secretary of State under the following scenarios:
a) Bush dies in office.
c) Bush loses the election.
b) Bush cancels the election and declares himself President for Life.
I find it hard to believe that Powell will announce himslef to be a lame duck with 1 1/2 years of being Sec. of State left. I think this is a despicable trial baloon leaked by disgruntled Foggy Bottom types. Not that I would really miss Powell that much anyway.

Posted by: jimg on August 4, 2003 03:56 PMMore dirty Tricks from the left. They can't face the facts that they will not win in 2004. I just hope they can face the facts that they may not win again for a very long time.
Posted by: Mat on August 4, 2003 04:25 PMIf this was a dirty trick, it was a horribly timed one. A year from now would be more like it, but even then it would probably be too early to do the Dems any good.
Posted by: Xrlq on August 4, 2003 05:54 PMSo someone at the WaPo made up a story. Guess they're just trying to compete with the NYTimes. Scrappleface makes up better stuff than both though. My guess is that the Seattle paper you love didn't use re-elect because they have a "deeply held belief" that the President was never elected in 2000 so he can't be re-elected.
