He wasn't interested in 2000 and said he's done but....
Draft Dick Cheney
He has the conservative creds &I'd love to have him go up against "Oclinton."
Cheney would get blown away by Clinton. The problem with a brokered convention is that you can’t just nominate someone who hasn’t proven himself on the campaign trail, and have any prayer of winning.
WHAT brokered convention? Ain’t gonna happen.
It will not be a brokered convention. If McCain is a few votes short of the nomination, some of Huckabee’s supporters will go to McCain to put him over the top. I think people need to let go of the Brokered convention idea (even if it was brokered, McCain would still control more than 40% of the delegates).
FWIW - I believe McCain will get to more than 50% anyway, so this is simply an amusing debate.
My father (my >70 father) told me this whole primary was a charade. I am beginning to think he is right.
The GOP brokering already occurred in the smoky back rooms of the Senate just prior to the Florida primaries. McCain will be anointed as the nominee. He’s next in line, after all. The country club membership has spoken. Now, shut up, take it like a party peon and go vote for McCain. Brush up on your espanol while you’re at it. It’s gonna come in handy when you’re asked by the GOP to work the precincts heavily laden with illegals.
not with his bum ticker.
Keep trying. I will not vote for Dick Cheney.
How about Cheney vs Obama in a UFC sanctioned championship fight for POUTUS?
So he’s lose.
So will McCain, Romney, or Huckabee.
But at least the GOP would be represented by a conservative and have one to vote for.
But is not the GOP holding on to conservatism the whole radio/blogosphere argument?
Ah, hell. it’s academic anyhow.
He’ll use William Tecumseh Sherman’s quote: “If nominated, I will not accept; if drafted, I will not run; if elected, I will not serve.”
[ASSUMPTION: HIS health does not fail him on the campaign trail!]
**********
He may pick Huckaboom to attempt to rally the evangelical community [unlikely]...
If he picks Michael Steele or J.C. Watts to counter the Obama diversity factor... better chance of standing down Her Heinous OR Osama Obama...
Just my humble 2-cents...
Draft Dick Armey!
John Nance Garner said, “The vice-presidency of the United States as “not being worth a bucket of warm piss.”
The only thing less important in an election is the selection of the VP.
Since last night I have heard the following:And now today I'm hearing calls for Vice President Cheney. Desperation has an odor to it that opponents can smell!
You think the MSM is rough on Bush? Put Cheney on the ticket.
GOP needs a good spanking to reset some parameters and remember who they work for. And its not T. Kennedy.
Draft Santorum/Gingrich!
Just imagine how fun a Cheney / Clinton debate would be.
I would give anything to see that.
I agree with you all though.
The GOP train is headed for a McCain crash.
Indeed. I love them, but does anyone seriously believe that a majority of Americans would vote for Cheney after all the garbage thrown at him in the last 8 years, or Rush, who is not a politician anyway? Dream on. (But I’m still not voting for McCain).
