So i guess Cheney won't be resigning for health reasons, perhaps he will resign to spend more time with his family.
What will be interesting is seeing who Bush nominates to replace him.
Wouldn't that person have a leg up in the primaries?
Course that all depends on the veracity of Knutes and Madsen's claims.
Maybe this person?
Born November 14, 1954 in Birmingham, Alabama, this person earned her bachelor's degree in political science,
cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa, from the University of Denver in 1974; a Master's from the University of Notre Dame in 1975; and a Ph.D. from the Graduate School of International Studies at the University of Denver in 1981. This person is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and has been awarded honorary doctorates from Morehouse College in 1991, the University of Alabama in 1994, the University of Notre Dame in 1995, the National Defense University in 2002, the Mississippi College School of Law in 2003, the University of Louisville and Michigan State University in 2004.
This person was a Democrat until 1982 when they changed her political affiliation to Republican after growing averse to former President Carter's foreign policy. This person also cited influence from his/her father, John Wesley, in this decision, who himself switched from Democrat to Republican after being denied voting registration by the Democratic registrar. In his/her words to the 2000 Republican National Convention, "My father joined our party because the Democrats in Jim Crow Alabama of 1952 would not register him to vote. The Republicans did." In addition to English, he/she speaks, with varying degrees of fluency, Russian, German, French, and Spanish. Heck, Knute can't even speak English! :-)
Time magazine has four times named this person as one of its world's 100 most influential people, only one of two African Americans to have been repeatedly so named.
