Larry needs to get a grip....this ain't happening. I don't even expect the President to ask it of this man who clearly wants to retire.
I'd vote for Cheney if he were nothing more than a brain in a jar.
Qualified, and electable, are two totally different things. Don't ever forget it.
I'd love to see him as President in 2008, but if the Dems nominate anyone with an ounce of media charisma, we'd be toast.
I'm with ya, Great Yazoo. Cheney would be a FANTASTIC followup to GWB.
Cheney will completely dismantle the shrill, butt ugly Hillary in a debate.
This story reminded me of your coining of the terms "POTUS envy" and "VPOTUS envy" last month. :^)
I would have liked a role reversal back in 2000 for the first term, and then had him hand things off to W in 2004. I've always liked Dick Cheney, and when he tore thru Lieberman in the VP debates, that was solidified.
I think the eventual GOP candidate is not among anyone that has indicated they might run, nor is it among anyone the media, us or most in the GOP now think of as possible candidates. I think 2008 will bring out someone who will be thinking outside the box. I think they will be supporting a set of strong American values, but they will have some bold policy approaches to advancing those values. But, I think events in 2006 and 2007 will demonstrate where, in which policy areas, the emphasis is needed most. I think they sit somewhere in the GOP now and see the events, and the needed emphasis, turning in some direction, as their thoughts develope policy responses to those coming events. While others are swatting at the flies of the minutia of todays events, they are looking ahead. If things unfold as they think they will, they will stand up and be noticed in 2006 and 2007.
