Bush has to say that to put down the rumours, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Cheney step down after the first term. The party has to look toward the '08 elections and who they want to run.

GHW Bush was the 1st sitting VP to be elected pres since Martin Van Buren.

If Cheney steps down, V.P. Rumsfeld or some one capable with similar vintage. Then there are a lot of potentially great candidates - Guliani, Frist, that governor of Fla.
