Karen,
As I said a long time ago, It would make sense for Cheney to
resign so
an acceptable (to Bush) 2008 candidate can get exposure as VP.
Most
money in an election is spent making the candidate known to the
electorate.
Question: Well, what do you think Mr. Cheney was doing when he
shot
that poor lawyer?
Answer: He was qualye hunting....
O, Spiro [Agnew]! Where are you when your President needs you?

A known candidate saves a bunch of bills. That thinking
determines who
the parties pick.

I keep thinking today of all the muslim extremists in the
region who
would love to take a shot at excising GWB when he passes
through
Pakistan tomorrow. I can't imagine that there won't be at least
some attempt, though one might expect that high security and
secrecy
should foil them. What might be the result if they succeeded,
though?
Cheney in charge, the US in a state of hysteria...

This is similar to the trip to S. America last year. Taxpayers

*Guarding Bush Abroad*: About *5,000 personnel* including
snipers,
commandos and U.S. marines using helicopters, bomb detectors
and
electronic jammers will protect Pres. Bush during his visit to
India
this week, officials said on Monday. The personnel would be
part of a
3-ring security cordon around the U.S. president and First Lady
who
are due to arrive in New Delhi for their maiden visit to the
subcontinent on Wednesday.

In fact, this nightmare scenario of having Cheney as President
keeps a
damper on talk of impeachment. However, should Cheney face
those
charges himself for the Libby defense (just following orders to
leak
classified data, the Ollie North defense), the fear factor of
impeaching Bush is gone. Rove knows this, that's why you can
already
find items like this in the MSM (mainstream media).
(The GOP-friendly Washington Times [aka Moonie Times] online)*

*Insight reports that Cheney is expected to retire after 2006
midterm
elections, *an increasing liability for the GOP. "Cheney's next
crisis
could take place by the end of the year, the sources said. They
said
the White House was expecting Cheney to defend himself against
charges
from his former chief of staff, Lewis Libby, that the VP
ordered him
to relay classified information. Such a charge could lead to a
congressional investigation and even impeachment proceedings.
"Nothing
will happen until after the congressional elections," a GOP
source
said. "After that, there will be significant changes in the
administration and Cheney will probably be part of that."
Bush, the sources said, has rejected the advice from circles
close to
his father, the former president, to dismiss Cheney. They say
Mr. Bush
has long regarded Mr. Cheney as the experienced hand in
national
security, as well as being trusted by the conservative wing of
the
GOP. "/The Libby case is far more lethal than the hunting
accident/,"
another GOP source said. "If the heat gets too much, Cheney
might say
his health requires him to leave office. Whatever happens, the
president will make sure it's handled delicately."

http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/data/constitution/amendment25/#f1#f

After the 25th was amended and Gerald Ford became the first
appointed
to replace a sitting VP, it leaves open the possibility that
Bush
could appoint a VP who would enjoy front row status for 2008.
Two
names that have been mentioned are Jeb, who is termed-out in
Florida,
and Virginia's Sen. George Allen, who has White House
ambitions.
Rove's choice would be to weaken McCain's rear guard assault on
the
White House. The media continue to describe McCain and Hillary
as the
front runners, but believing the MSM on this analysis is
dubious at best.
George Allen is a former state football hero, son of a
prominent
Virginian, photogenic, a lightweight "political suit". But the
RNC is
keeping him in reserve status. That's the funny thing.
According to
the media, the only turmoil ahead is in the DEM party. Unless
they've
already picked who, when and how, the GOP/RNC is going to face
some
real seismic events from the policy consequences Bush has
created. - kwc
