I've heard this rumor that Cheney is resigning in 2006, to put a new face on for the Republicans, and to give Bush a chance to set someone up for 2008. I say Condi or Allen.
"I've heard this rumor that Cheney is resigning in 2006. . ."
That rumor has been floating since at least the summer of '04, before the election. Then a last-minute switch of running mate for "health reasons" was supposed to flabbergast the Dems and give Bush a bounce over Kerry on election day.
Didn't happen then, and I doubt it does at all. Who knows? But don't hold your breath.
