    In an interview published in today's New York Times Sunday Magazine, Kristin Gore, daughter of former Vice President Al Gore, claims the Gores were 'under siege' by 'bussed in' protesters outside the Vice President's residence in Washington, D.C. during the 2000 presidential election Florida recount as Gore fought to win the presidency from then Texas Governor George W. Bush.Gore says the protesters' cries of "Get Out of Cheney's House" (a reference to Bush's vice presidential nominee, Dick Cheney, who would take residence there upon being inaugurated) drove her mother, Tipper, to play nature sounds on a CD player to distract...

Correspondent Jonathan Karl again talking to him. Question: “The speaker of the house was so upset about your comment that she called the White House to complain.” But Cheney did not back down. CHENEY: I'm not sure what part of it is that Nancy disagreed with. She accused me of questioning her patriotism. I didn't question her patriotism. I questioned her judgment.

    Bush Glad Cheney Not Running for President By NEDRA PICKLER, Associated Press Writer 17 minutes ago President Bush said Monday he sure is glad Vice President Dick Cheney is not going to be campaigning to replace him. It was no knock against Cheney's leadership skills, Bush said, but a practical consideration about making his last years in office run smoothly. Having the No. 2 angling to be No. 1 "certainly changes the dynamics inside the White House," the president said. "I'm not through yet, you know," Bush said to a questioner who asked whom he would support in the 2008...

    It's hard to imagine Dick Cheney at play, but he does have a lighter side. He likes to stroll with his wife, Lynne, or fly-fish on quiet mornings with the four grandkids near his Wyoming home. He makes a point of remembering where his aides were brought up and often asks after their families. Once, he startled his Secret Service bodyguards when he walked away from his armor-plated limousine, tapped on the window of a staff vehicle, and presented an Air Force sergeant from the motor pool with a pair of stripes and congratulations on a promotion. He gets a...

    New York – Don’t call her the Second Lady. The Vice President’s wife keeps a high profile of her own, as an author of books on U.S. history. Her latest, A Time for Freedom, is a timeline of American history. She sat down with TIME White House correspondent Matthew Cooper at the vice-presidential mansion to discuss her newest work, her husband’s health and why she likes Geena Davis. Asked about Bob Woodward saying that the Vice President would be the Republican presidential nominee in 2008, she says that’s “Wrong, but interesting.” She said she’s watched Commander in Chief starring Geena...
  • Cheney's odds up for presidency

    United States vice-president Dick Cheney has seen a sharp improvement in his odds for the presidency in 2008, but he trails three other possible candidates, the online betting service Sportsbook.com said on Wednesday. Odds on Cheney have improved from 100-1, when betting on presidential candidates opened in May, to 20-1, said the British-based betting firm, which cited comments from Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward that Cheney would likely run for president. But Sportsbook said Democratic senator Hillary Clinton remains the betting favorite, with odds improving from 6-1 to 7-2. Former New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani is the Republican favorite with...

    Bob Woodward is insisting that Republicans will nominate Vice President Cheney for president in 2008. While this is likely wishful-thinking for the left-winger Woodward, Cheney has indicated time and time again that he won't be a candidate in 2008, it adds fuel to the '08 tea leaves...The current president, George W. Bush meets with his foreign policy team today in Crawford where one of the main topics should be the continued rise in oil prices. Consumers are angry (and likely so) and will only be more so as prices at the pump rise closer to $3.00 a gallon...Finally, The Hill...

    Noted journalist Bob Woodward offered his insights on topics ranging from Nixon to Bush, current political issues and the role of journalism during a speech to an overflow crowd at Paepcke Auditorium on Tuesday night. Not once did he mention Mark Felt, the former FBI assistant director nicknamed "Deep Throat" who was Woodward's key anonymous source in uncovering the Watergate scandal. Woodward's latest book chronicles the story of "Deep Throat," but the audience members clearly had more current issues on their minds. Using numerous anecdotes from his 35-year journalism career, Woodward didn't make definitive conclusions about issues but let facts...

    If Vice President Cheney is indeed a “serious darkhorse” candidate for president in 2008, as Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward recently suggested, he probably won’t want to enlist legendary White House reporter Helen Thomas to help with his press relations, even though she has proposed a campaign strategy he could run on. Thomas, a syndicated columnist for Hearst Newspapers who has covered the White House since the Kennedy administration, wrote in May that Cheney “certainly could campaign on the theme that he has had experience in running the White House.” Thomas made the suggestion in a column she wrote about...

    What does it take to get a really qualified republican to run for President? Perhaps the answer lies right under our noses and we just haven't looked clearly. Back in 2000 when George W. Bush was looking for a Vice Presidential candidate, he asked Dick Cheney to help him find the best person for the job. After looking around, Bush finally realized that the best man was right there by his side and so picked Dick Cheney to serve as VP. And what a great Veep he has been: intelligent, experienced in all aspects of the government, a hawk on...
