A fair call.
Cheney is a great man.
I must admit that GWB picked Cheney for experience over electoral votes.
Bigtime.
Possibly the smartest VP choice in the history of the republic. It certainly wasn't for political reasons. Bush was smart enough to know a solid man was essential. He did a lot better than his daddy (talk about a crass political VP choice) and even the Gipper (perhaps politically necessary, but saddled four years of Poppy afterward.)
