Depends how he handles Desert Storm II; the first propaganda exercise
didn't win a re-election for Dad (though the rest of his cabinet was
reinstated in 2000, of course).
Here's a puzzle for the Constitutionally-aware among us: Since W was
arguably "appointed" Prez, rather than elected, could he run for two more
terms? By way of counter-example, before Gore picked Lieberman, it was
speculated that Clinton might have been the running mate. Then Gore could
step down and leave Clinton in office for another four. This could
conceivably happen ad infintum...
Dave!
