Who are "they"?..He is VP and obviously Bush wants hm right where he is.
"They" had better be ready for an answer. If Cheney steps down in favor of Rice then the next two years will be filled with stories of how he was forced from office.
Two vice-presidents have resigned in our nation's history, John Calhoun and Spiro Agnew. I don't think Cheney wants to be the third.
That may be true but what if scenario, what if Cheney's health really is getting worse, they have to be prepared for that scenario.
