In other words, either Newsweek or their mysterious White House "source" is intentionally lying to harm Cheney.
Big mistake. Collin Powell would give us a chance.
No way, McCain is the October surprise. You hear President Cheney in 2008? That's Hillary's pipe dream. McCain would mean 12 more years of GOP.

Matalin made clear that no one, with the exception of the president, tells Cheney what to do. A month ago Cheney caused a stir when he told Sen. Pat Leahy to "f--- yourself" after Leahy came over to jolly him up on the Senate floor. (Cheney was mad at Leahy for making political hay over Cheney's ties to his old company, Halliburton.) Afterward, a senior White House official told news-week that Communications Director Dan Bartlett advised the Cheney team to "just make a joke of it." But Cheney did not. Rather, the veep affirmed to Fox News that he had told off Leahy and "felt better afterwards." In her interview with NEWSWEEK, Matalin doubted that Cheney had ever heard the White House official's advice. "I know what advice he was given because it came directly from me through Liz. And he already knew what he wanted to do," said Matalin.
Welcome to Free Republic.
Silence, newbie. You know not of what you speak.
Thank you so much. You wouldn't believe how long I've waited to get on here. You really wouldn't. Now that I'm here I plan to participate in the dialogue and express myself freely. Thankyou for your welcome. See you later.
It would take about 35 seconds for the media to start bleating that a dumping of Cheney is an act of complete desperation and an admission by Bush that his first term had been a failure.
Newbie. Colin Powell doesn't want to be president, and he would alienate the base.
I'm sorry . Did I say something wrong? I was only expressing my opinion that Chaney seems a little flat politically right now and a new vp candidate might spice things up. Is that wrong?
What base?
Plus, he doesn't want to be President, and his wife would never consent to him being on Bush's ticket.
You're doing good work. Keep it up.
Didn't realize there was a waiting list to get on here. BTW, Walter Murphy really butchered the first movement of Beethoven's Fifth.
a chance at what ?
There will be plenty of time during the next year and way before '08 for Bush to shuffle his top people with a view to grooming a VP
McCain was the October 2000 surprise. Lots of reliable sources said so.
The October 2004 surprise is Powell, according to the same reliable sources.
Are these the same "reliable" sources who said Kerry was going with Gephardt?
He wants a chance at being zotted.
