Yes, I know that. I read the papers too. It is also the title of the thread, and hense the topic of discussion.
So, if you object to Condi then who better to replace Cheney?
I don't object..I simply am saying the VP is not exactly a a sure place to run for President..Only Theodore Roosevelt and Bush sr have successfully run for President this past century while serving as VPs.
I believe Rice is sorely needed as Secy of State.
This story is very poorly backed up. It's sheer speculation.
Even if Condi wants to run, and even if she'd be a stronger candidate as vice president than as (recently resigned) secretary of state -- both huge "ifs" -- I can't believe that Bush wants to lose Cheney, or that Cheney would quit if Bush still wants him, absent an extremely serious health issue. Things this dramatic rarely happen in politics, and Cheney is not an especially dramatic guy.
