I had no real belief that he'd get one--Fen or not he's still Rudy Guiliani, to know him is to hate him and after four years I can't imagine anybody but hardline anti-Fen types particularly liking him all that much.Okay, so who's president in 2012-2016, then? We can't have someone too close to moderate (let alone progressive/liberal), or some of the post-2012 anti-Fen stuff would have a hard time gaining steam, and in particular the LTA probably needs someone anti-Fen to some degree to sign it into law -- because regardless how the spin doctors play it to the public, the members of Congress will most if not all understand the real purpose behind the bill.
So, rework: Guiliani takes a dive in the '12 elections
Who's our best candidate?
EDIT: Oh, wait, Guiliani signs it into law before the 2012 election; we don't need to have another rigthwinger as President after him. Never mind that requirement, then. Still, the question remains -- what name do I plug into $PRESIDENT for the repeal?
Alternatively, if the timeline doesn't support an immediate reconciliation (I forget exactly what we decided on there), one term for Obama followed by Sanders.
