He's already 71 years old, and too set in his ways. Leave the Whitehouse to the 45-60 year old crowd. If he wants to run for POTUS, more power to him.

I think GW Bush chose Cheney for his knowledge and leadership, not for the 3 electoral votes he could deliver from Montana, or the dry, cool-headed, monotone constituency. I've long been impressed by Senator Shelby and I saw him interviewed this morning and the thought struck me from the interview that he could be considering a run. However, in recent times, senators have not had a good track record of getting elected President, and even though by that point Condi will have spent 8 years in Washington, she is primarily known as an academician, not a beltway insider. I think she could add to the ticket, but I'm also biased by the fact that she is also from Alabama and the "all-Alabama" ticket thing is intriguing. But my original post wasn't about Condi, or at least it wasn't meant to be, it was meant to be about Shelby. My opinion is that if Roy Moore ran, it would be giving the election away. I, personally, would have a hard time voting for him from what I've seen. ___ RTF mailing list RTF@rolltidefan.net http://rolltidefan.net/mailman/listinfo/rtf_rolltidefan.net

[RollTideFan] CECIL HURT: Big Ten does little wrong in eyes of NCAA
http://tidesports.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050522/NEWS/505220386/1011 CECIL HURT: Big Ten does little wrong in eyes of NCAA May 22, 2005 It seems that I might owe the NCAA Enforcement Staff an apology./sDuring the Logan Young trial in Memphis, I wrote that members of the Enforcement Staff “were probably monitoring the case -- unless they were too busy whitewashing the pending Ohio State case." Well, it turns out that I was right about what they were doing, not that predicting a whitewash took any great insight. But where I transgressed was in underestimating their speed and efficiency. After all, I wrote that in late January -- and the NCAA’s enforcement guys had already wrapped up their “investigation" into Maurice Clarett in time to beat the Christmas rush. Ohio State, earlier this week, released its official letter of inquiry from the NCAA, and that letter included no mention of Clarett, the star running back on Ohio State’s 2002 national champions and, most recently, a young man who accused the Buckeyes of a long list of NCAA infractions. Instead, the letter focused almost entirely on potential basketball violations, mentioning football only once. To be honest, that was so predictable that I originally didn’t even intend to write about it. No investigation into Big Ten football ever amounts to anything. The last Big Ten football team to receive a postseason ban in football was Minnesota in 1991. I’ve probably got 25 years or so of college football observation left, and I’m likelier to see Vanderbilt win a national championship than I am to see a Big Ten team get a bowl ban. Just for the record, in the 15 years since it last happened, the SEC has seen Alabama (twice), Auburn, Kentucky, Ole Miss and Mississippi State receive penalties. It’s reached a point, though, where most college football fans just shrug about that inequity. It doesn’t make any difference to Alabama, which has served out the penalties in its most recent probation. It’s just the way things are. Of course, Big Ten fans will argue that there have not been any penalties because their programs are all pristine. The proof? Well, if the NCAA hasn’t imposed any penalties, they must be clean -- or so the tautology goes. I don’t know about that. I do know that a Michigan booster was paying $600,000 to players in basketball, which isn’t the main sport at Michigan. (The NCAA Enforcement Staff’s original finding in that case, by the way, was that there were only “secondary violations.") I do know that Albert Means’ recruitment was a cesspool and the team that traveled the greatest distance to jump in and swim around was Michigan State. I do know that Clarett was driving a quick succession of nice vehicles while he was playing at Ohio State. So color me skeptical about the “pristine" thing. Nonetheless, the case wasn’t likely to be column material. That was until someone at the NCAA decided to comment. Now, an NCAA comment isn’t all that valuable in and of itself. In the first place, it’s probably no better than 50-50 on whether any given NCAA official is telling the truth or not. On the other hand, when someone at the NCAA does deign to comment about a pending case, it is revealing. First, the comment is usually means that the NCAA has been stung by some particular criticism. Second, the comment usually reveals more about the NCAA agenda than the spokesperson intended to reveal. That’s what you can tell from the words of David Price, the NCAA vice president for enforcement services, earlier this week. Price indicated that the NCAA had tried for nearly a month to call Clarett, and he never called them back. “Over the course of a month in November and December 2004, phone calls were placed to Mr. Clarett’s reported cell phone numbers, relatives, former legal representatives and friends," Price’s statement said. But the messages left were never returned. In addition, attempts to contact him in person failed." No kidding, Mr. Price? Your crack staff devoted a whole month to finding Clarett, then gave up because he didn’t return a phone call? That’s a little different than the years spent pursuing some of the individuals in the Alabama case. Some of those individuals weren’t too co-operative, either, like Lynn Lang, who never said a word to the NCAA until after Alabama’s penalties were handed down. In that case, the lack of an interview was no deterrent. The NCAA just used “confidential sources." One thing is obvious, and that’s why the Broncos drafted Maurice Clarett as highly as they did. Not only does he seem to be super-strong, since he apparently fashioned the SUV’s he drove in college with his bare hands, but he is also able to become invisible at will. Considering that he was a constant television presence in the build-up to the NFL draft, reporters and others seemed able to find him pretty easily. It wasn’t so ea
