I think a plan may be in the works for Cheney to resign in 2006 due to health reasons. And whoever the Republican Nominee to be is will be appointed VP.

I very seriously doubt it. Cheney isn't going anywhere and Bush doesn't want him to go anywhere. We can have a primary without a sitting President or Vice-President running. Its no big deal.
Interesting take. Sounds plausible, I guess, although I think the VPs health is still pretty good.
(Belated welcome to FR, too!)
I used to think that too.
But I think if anything the Miers nomination showed that conservatives can assert independence from this White House, and would not allow a moderate McCain type nominee to be slipped in the VPOTUS office and be setup as the 2008 nominee.
