His health is a major problem.

When was the last time a sitting v.p. of two terms did not get the nomination? Gore '00, Bush '92, Nixon '60, (that's as far back as I go)

Well, Cheney is a straight shooter, and he's said he has no desire to be the president.

Geez... can't we have one thread about this where we actually LISTEN to what Jeb has said? He's said several times that he doesn't want to run for President in 2008.

And wasn't Cheney just admitted to the hospital this morning with shortness of breath? (At least that's what Fox news was reporting on the radio around 11am today...I haven't had my news fix since then.)

Vice-President Cheney is a great man. But his health is a major issue. I want to win in 2008. And let's face it, the President doesn't have a successor right now. McCain will run, probably talk like a conservative during the campaign. I'd say he's the front runner. That's probably why he rejected Kerry. Betting on a Bush win so that he'll have another shot in 2008.
When you think about the great veeps in U.S, history I'd put Dick Cheney at the top. Above Bush 41. Jim

I think the best combo would be either Powell/Rice or Powell/McCain. America is ready for it's first black president, we'll sink the democrats for sure on this, as they are comming to meet with Jesus, they won't be as successful in their attempt to win over Christians (assuming this admin doesn't tick off too many evangelicals), while we'll be flipping the black vote on them.

Powell is super strong on foreign policy, McCain super on domestic. I think Cheney would serve best as Secretary of State in that administration. He's not in the best of health, but would still serve his nation well as SoS. These three big men would be the best bet to go against anything the dems could come up with.

McCain is too old he would be a one term president at best he is 4-5 years older than Cheney for goodness sake he would be 71/72 in 2008.
