The best part would be the absolute meltdown of the left and the Bush haters on the right.

Dick Cheney would make a first class President, and wife Dr. Lynne V. Cheney would make an especially classy First Lady. However, the reality is that Vice President Cheney's cardio health is an issue sufficient in magnitude to make him consider a well-deserved retirement after his current and successful VEEP administration.

Cheney's not going to run. The GOP is putting up a field of RINOs in 2008 and will hand the presidency to Queen Clinton on a silver platter.
Haley Barbour or Sanford should run, with DeLay or Tancredo as a possible Veep pick.

Yawn another 2008 thread. Why can't FReepers worry about helping Bush succeed in his 2nd term rather than worrying about scenarios in which 99.9% of them will turn out to be false anyway.

I like Cheney, but I'm assuming he's not in.
That said - Mark Sanford in 08!

A planned one-term Cheney Presidency could open up a lot of interesting possibilities, as the bottom of the ticked would be put in a slingshot spot for 2012.
How about Cheney-Bush? This way Jeb would be keeping his word about not running in '08....
Cheney-Rice? Gets Condaleeza the campaign experience she needs....
Cheney-Allen? Gets George the exposure he needs beyond Virginia....
Cheney-Frist? Well, then the Veep can both treat a Cheney heart attack, and assume power if, ah, you know...
(Yes, I know, that's in horribly poor taste. But I've had a heart attack, so I'm exempt from taste rules on cardiac disease. They gave me an official waiver when they discharged me from the hospital.)
It certainly would add an all-new dynamic to the V.P. spot! Instead of the V.P. playing lapdog for 4 years, the focus is on him or her from the get-go.

Too many doubts about his health--which isn't to say that the VP isn't perfectly capable of tackling the job with vigor, mind you, or that it would be fair or right to use his medical history against him, but those doubts can be effectively exploited by the opposition. The VP would be spending half of his campaign fielding questions about his blood pressure readings for that day. I'm no mindreader or fortune-teller, but I do know GOP party leaders are realists, as they should be, who know those doubts will translate into real numbers on election day. VP Chaney has spent decades in public life, and while I'm sure he is grateful for the support, I'm equally sure he'll stand by his decision.

Tom Delay at the top of the ticket. The only man in Washington with a backbone.

I don't worry about helping Bush succeed in his 2nd term. I voted for him, so that part is over.
I worry about a conservative agenda in his 2nd term. If Bush is on board(John Bolton), I help him on that. If he's not(Border security), I'll fight him on it.

These are the same people who blabbed on and on about how Bush is going to dump Cheney for McCain during the 2004 election.

All of your scenarios are GOP losers for 2008.
I'm not ready to throw away the Presidency to Queen Hillary just to give some GOP prospects some experience in a national election.
