Yea, I know. The nine-week campaign would probably kill him - literally.

[Brilliant]

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.

[dinoparty]

WHAT brokered convention? Ain’t gonna happen.

[mcjordansc]

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.

Dick Cheney wants to go fishing.

Drafting an old man not interested does not work.

See: Thompson, Freddie Dalton

[TADSLOS]

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.

1. A brokered convention is becoming less and less likely.

2. Cheney has made it apparent through his words and deeds that he does not want the job.

3. Cheney is probably the only Republican less popular than Bush right now. He would lose in a landslide.

[demshateGod]

Keep trying. I will not vote for Dick Cheney.

[AmericaUnited]

How about Cheney vs Obama in a UFC sanctioned championship fight for POUTUS?

[Wings-n-Wind]

I s'pect McLame will win the GOP nom...
NOT my first or anyone's best choice... JMHO
But now simple math begins to tell the story!

[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...

[kkalman]

Draft Dick Armey!

[HawaiianGecko]

Since last night I have heard the following:

• Huckabee should be VP for one term and then McCain will quit
• Huckabee should ask Romney to be his Vice President
• Lou Dobbs should enter the race
• A distress call for Rush Limbaugh to run

And now today I'm hearing calls for Vice President Cheney.  Desperation has an odor to it that opponents can smell!

[Bringbackthedraft]

You think the MSM is rough on Bush? Put Cheney on the ticket.

[IrishMike]

GOP needs a good spanking to reset some parameters and remember who they work for. And its not T. Kennedy.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Cheney's day has come and gone. He would stand zero chance of getting elected, even against Hillary, because of all the invective and nasty lies that have been hurled against him over the past 7 years.

If you want to draft someone, draft a younger Conservative like Rick Santorum or Michael Steele.

[libbylu]

mccain/huck is the brokered results,no difference.

[SE Mom]

Brokered convention is not going to happen. McCain has the upper hand. He is the nominee we have to deal with- though I can’t imagine HOW we will.

Dick Cheney would not be electable in a general election- he is more hated (if possible) by Dems than the president- he would be a great unifier for the Dems to run against.

[Brian S. Fitzgerald]

McKane will probably get the nod, be will be the VP be black, female, hispanic or Huckabee?

[MEGoody]

Nah, Cheney is too old and his health is too bad. Besides, he doesn't want it.

Draft someone who does want it, like Hunter.
