I previously thought there wasn't a chance in hell of Cheney running in 08. As such, Jeb Bush was my first choice. But Newt seemed so certain, so assured of his prediction that I am ecstatic about the possibility.
But Cheney, I don't know ... He doesn't have to do anything else to earn my respect--he's got it in spades. And take Newt with a grain of salt. IIRC, he was criticising Bush and war effort in '04 during the heat of the campaign. The hell was he thinking? Anyway, if Jeb got the nomination in '08, the left would go absolutely bonkers! That alone is worth throwing his hat in the ring.
