The right-wing American Spectator reports today that Vice President Dick Cheney will not be a speaker at the Republican National Convention next month, “according to sources in his office.” The magazine says that “Cheney has not sought a speaking slot at the convention, nor has his staff sought a role for him at the convention.” Asked by the Los Angeles Times, Cheney’s press secretary Megan Mitchell did not deny the report, only saying that “the vice president has a great deal of respect for John McCain and as of last Friday was out campaigning for him.”
