Cheney is smart, forceful, well-spoken, has all his ducks in a row and scares the c*ap out of the press.

That's why we keep getting feelers about "maybe it would be better for Cheney not to run again."

I swear this is the third one I've seen today.

I just can't see what you're talking about. Cheney doesn't scare anyone. He's smart, and that's why Bush has him on his ticket, but smart may not be enough in this election. If Bush doesn't want to be Kerry's punching bag, as Bush, Sr. was Clinton's punching bag, then he's going to have to have someone who's able to get dirty.
