I don't agreee ... If Cheney resigns due to health reasons now... the media will tear him up over this hunting issue and their new perception of a secretive whitehouse. The conspiracy buffs will go nuts and the media will blame his secretive white house as the problem... and whoever the President appoints will be in a tough position to run in 08 after all this drama...
I didn't write that he should resign now. In fact I wrote that he should NOT resign over this manufactured scandal. This non-story will go away in a few days.
I just always thought that in the last year of the Bush Presidency that Cheney would resign, give health as athe reason and allow a the President to help a 2008 nominee get some exposure as White House material.
If it were up to me I would choose Cheney as my President in 2008. Alas, he doesn't want the job, so make way for someone who does.
