Bush senior has considerable experience in this role already and since he only served for one term as president would be eligible for another. I'm picking up a lot of evidence suggesting that Bush senior will run in 08. He's looking fitter than ever and remains in excellent health, unlike Cheney whose heart is in a bad state. Crawford is absolutely spot on with this. Watch this space. My best guess is Cheney will step aside to let George Bush senior take over the vice presidency for the remaining months of this term.

My assessment of Cheney: He seemed to make quite a remarkable "comeback" into public life with the somewhat convoluted vice presidential selection process he ran for George Walker Bush that resulted in him...virtually selecting himelf. Cheney seems to crave power. And, while that power may be less than he would like, for now, and may be less than he may have wielded in the recent past, as long as there is the remotest possibility of the need for him to replace Bush for whatever reason, neither he nor his equally power-addicted wife would want to let go of that potentiality. While this American would greatly welcome the resignation of Cheney or any other member of our unelected government in Washington, it just does not seem in character for a power-craving person like Cheney to give up what remaining power he may have left...for even less.

In October there were some quiet rumbles about Rummy going, and so long! Cheney loves power and he has less of it now without Rumsfeld and Congress behind him, plus he's not able to use fear as much to get people behind him. Bush2 is so obviously flailing under Cheney's tutelage that Daddy's crew (Bush1, Baker, Gates, Kissinger, and maybe Scowcroft) is taking over. Bush2 has finally kind of gotten used to actually being President and is probably realizing that he's becoming an historical laughingstock. Shedding Cheney will be easy. So, who's in line to be President for the next 9-10 years (in their dreamworld)? Jeb Bush? John McCain? Giuliani? They are all horrible, but McCain seems the least bad. At least he's served in the military and has a modicum of honor left. Giuliani is an authoritarian who chases the cameras and hogs credit for blown up but mostly flimsy accomplishments. Jeb is more evil and competent than Shrub. It doesn't matter, <b>all</b> of them are profiting quite handsomely from their investments in military materiel and services via Carlyle Group, Haliburton, and KBR, as well as their oil and oil services investments and gigs. The war mongering leading to crises inflates the revenues from energy and guns. Their kids aren't dying, and their investments are ballooning from the situation. We were wrong saying 'no blood for oil;' more accurately it is: 'no blood for less oil (higher pump prices).' Good riddance scarey Dick Cheney. He was creepy around 9/11/01 and we're safer with him away from the button. Let the Repugs choose their next candidate now, so the Democrats can run polls against the VP and pick their most winnable opponent. Plus, this maneuvering will further cement George2 as even lamer duck. I think it is plausible that Cheney would leave. In October there were some quiet rumbles about Rummy going, and so long!
