| Unless his health deteriorates or he finds himself in the middle of a serious scandal (both are not totally unlikely), Cheney's not going to go away, IMO.
OK - working my way through the double negative...a serious scandal involving Cheney is likely? Doubtful. Certainly not Plamegate, which is a total non-event, and which no one outside DC really seems to care. Halliburton is also a non-event, and he has completely isolated himself from the company anyway.
OTOH, I can't see him hanging around for another administration, either as POTUS or VP. I just dont think he'll be interested, health considerations or not.
And yeah, this is hardly a new idea, and Rice would be vastly preferable over the carpetbagger. If she runs, expect the leftie race-baiters to come out in force though. It would get very nasty very quckly, I think. | --

That's all fine and good, but no one ever said he'd stick around for another administration. What I was referencing on that web page was speculating that he might step down in 2006 for a presidential hopeful canidate to serve out the CURRENT administration VP position. Short of a scandal or health problems I don't see that as being very likely. And in this day and age, Haliburton or not, you can never rule out a scandal in the White House. Very likely? no. But totally unlikely, or rather, would I be surprised if one happened? Perhaps not.
Good to see you around these parts again, Ransom. The Cubbies are stagnant, but Derrek still is leading the pack in Triple Crown categories!  |
