An interesting perspective. Not sold, but I shall ponder it.
“An interesting perspective. Not sold, but I shall ponder it.”
I guess some alternatives are:
1. Having there Cheney the administration gave additional backbone after the terrorist attacks on NYC and Washington D.C. and this was more important that having a ready successor in line.
2. Having Cheney change his official state of residence from Texas to Wyoming was no big deal because Cheney is really a Washingtonian and the Dims would not have in the least be worried about it if they wanted to nominate a presidential candidate and a VEEP candidate from the same state. [As an aside, isn’t it curious that the Dims when litigating all over the place in 2000 did not sue to make Bush/Cheney forfeit the Texas electoral votes?]
Of course in my view following the lead of the Dims is not a good idea and being a Washingtonian is not a plus.
