Didnt we learn the last time when we decided to give the nomination to Dole out of respect? Is the GOP so WIMPY that they not only wont fight in congress, but they WONT FIGHT for the nomination process either?
Think back...way back...to November 2004. Kerry lost by a slim margin, but easily half of his votes were "hate Bush" votes, not Kerry votes. To motivate their base enough to win in 2008, the democrats need someone they hate more than Bush. The answer: Cheney!
It's kind of like the Republican's hoping that Hillary will run. Not only do we get the pro-Republican votes...we'll get an awful lot of anti-Hillary-anti-Bill votes.
I'd vote for him in (pardon the expression) a heartbeat. He would be the most likely to further the Bush agenda.
Forget it! His health won't allow it. Focus your efforts on Newt.
Chenney is a walking heart attack.
Beside, it's time to look for new younger talent.
Surely, the Republicans have some............don't they?
Newt's past won't allow it the MSM would rip him apart on moral issues and be far more an impediment than Cheney's health. Cheney will not run he has constantly said he will not and IMHO he will not not just because of his health which IMHO is stable anyway as long as he does the things he is supposed to do after all he leads an active life both politically and socially including fishing and hunting. Nor is it really not wanting the job it is the process of obtaining it which turns Cheney off and is not prepared to go through that process and is honest enough to admit it unlike a lot of politicians.
