President Cheney?

Fred Barnes thinks that Dick Cheney should run for president in 2008 due to his vast knowledge of foreign policy. Cheney has emphatically said no, and I imagine he'll keep to that promise.

I heard one talk show host voice an interesting scenario this week. He thinks Bush would like to "anoint" his successor, and that successor is usually the Vice President. Given that Cheney doesn't seem interested, the host opined that perhaps Cheney will step down from office in 2007, thus giving Bush a chance to appoint someone else who would run in 2008. Someone like Condi Rice for example.

I don't think that's entirely far-fetched at all. We'll see.
