I think it would take a threat of monumental significance
for Cheney to be the nominee.

If something goes seriously wrong somewhere in the world
and we're drawn into a bitter conflict,
I could see Cheney as the only real choice...
not for political reasons, but for national survival ones.

Cheney/Rice is the ace in the hole should things get dicier in the next three years.

Other than that it looks like some combination of Rice, Allen, or Romney.

And to continue the betting thought, www.tradesports.com has Cheney at 2.0 as the Rep. nominee, which is 20 cents a contract on a scale of $0.00 to $10.00.

The only reason.
