**I love Cheney, I love his wife a lot also, therefore I hope he doesn't run----

Sometimes you just like someone so much, that for their sakes you just let them go and this is one of those times.

I would love for he and Lynne to be Pres and First Lady but it has been sssss0000 nasty for 4 going on 8 years for them that they will deserve the freedom of their ranch in Wyoming.**

I totally agree with you I am certain that if his health holds he will do something in 4 years time whether it be public speaking or advisory position (not full time) but he is adamant that he will not run for President in 2008 he wants to enjoy his retirement while he can. Spend time with his wife, grand children check out streams for fishing and go shooting. He has earned it and he deserves it. Also Lynne Cheney has publically hinted that one of their daughters might run for some sort of public office and she would like to play an active role in that campaign which I would obviously think must be Liz Perry, so this is what Dick and Lynne Cheney maybe doing in 2008.

Yes the media would go ape about his health but the real reason that he has never run as President is that he is not prepared to do the things you have to do both as a candidate and as President. He is not a baby hugger or a photo op man think of Kerry's duck hunt in Ohio that appalled Cheney. This is Cheney's sport and that is for him to enjoy as a private man not as a political tool.

Actually, I wish good luck to his daughter, but, Lynne Cheney would have made a terrific candidate for a political office. She is so smart, quick, pretty and classy.

But, Dick will want to be able to see her---they seem to have a good marriage, like George and Laura.
