i dont think so, in '96 he was very popular, his pro-life stance wouldnt have been as much of a problem, and he would have been able to do well in the primaries if he had the support of George Bush sr (which he would have), he would be the only candidate capable of defeating Gore (or whoever the dem candidate was), and the republicans could see that.

Who would be in a Powell adimistration? have to be some conservatives in the cabinet, maybe cheney, unlikely rumsfeld, fewer neocons, and a moderate sec of state? who?
