Okay, how's this for a scenario?

How about a Cheney/Bush ticket in 2004? If Cheney wins, that leaves Bush eligible to run in 2008, assuming Cheney survives at least through 2006. In fact, Cheney can "retire" in 2006, and Bush can assume the presidency and hopefully max out the two-term or 10 years part of the Constitution by finishing Cheney's term and then getting another term in 2008.

Too big a chance Cheney could lose at the top of the ticket. His health would be an issue. And it would look too much like a gimmick to the voters.

Forget it -- it smacks so much of manipulation that even I wouldn't go for it.

Such a blatant attempt to circumvent the 22nd amd. would turn off a LOT of people, even those who hate the clintons.
