11. Joe wouldn't do it.
Edited on Mon Dec-04-06 09:58 AM by Kelly Rupert
Choice A: Spend six more years as one of the most powerful men in Congress, with both parties treating him like a king, and a political future after that stretching on as long as he likes.

Choice B: Spend two years as a relative nobody, arguing fruitlessly and endlessly over trivial but complex affairs in a neutered body, with no political future to speak of after that.

Joe won't give up his seat to be SecDef, or UN Ambassador, or anything else Bush might try to appoint him to being. He wouldn't surrender his seat even when his own party asked him to--why would he for anyone else?
