There seems to be some merit to the argument that by selecting a younger veep to groom for the presidency, Republicans would be in a good position to counter a strong Democratic candidate in 2008.

Unless Cheney would die or be indicted the Republican Party is going to stay the course. He gives balance to Bush and his rough edges. And dsepite his complicated business dealings that are close to being considered shady he is no different than any other investor out to get rich (er).

Cheney, the smartest of the president's crew and probably the master puppeteer pulling the presidential strings, will stay as long as he wants.
Re his business dealings, they are not complicated at all. He left the company he headed with a $33 million package and that company, by sheer coincidence, received a huge no-bid sweetheart deal to supply services to Iraq. "investor", read insider.

That's a long reach for straws. Cheney did everything the dums wanted him to, yet he still is getting crucified over Halli. Great. Not a surprise, anyway.

That's like Dean talking about the "theory" of Dubya being behind 9/11. Dean eats crow again and officially eliminates the last "serious" candidate to run against Dub in 04. Darn, it would have been nice to have someone to show that the Republicrats can't cater to the left/illegals and keep their own house happy.
