Cheney would be a great president.

He usually says what he means though, and he's said no.

How old is he, anyway. Frankly, he looks pretty fit to me...there have been older candidates.

How old was Bob Dole? And Ronnie?

Cheney is 64 but that don't mean anything!

His health and Lynne may be factors in his decision not to run for president, but I would've voted for him BIG TIME!

Dick Cheney was 64 in January but of course apart from the MSM loathing of him he does have his heart problems which in many ways disqualifies him I would think in a lot of peoples eyes.

I think he feels he has given over 30 years of Government service and to bow out as the VP is what he wants to do IMHO I think he wants to serve the full term out and go when the President goes.

He has 4 lovely grand children and many outdoor pursuits including fly fishing and hunting (shooting) which I am certain he wants to have the opportunity to enjoy whilst still fit and active enough to do. IMHO he has earned that right with his wonderful service to your country especially coming back to government service after being in the private sector.
