Cheney is getting a bit long in tooth and has health problems. Yeah, but he loves the power and wants to stick around. As long as he does not have a flareup of his Heart condition, and wants it, he is good to go for the next election. 43 is loyal.

Why the adversarial nature of the speculation? Cheney is getting a bit long in tooth and has health problems. He might very well voluntarily relinquish the VP slot, leaving the door open to CR, whose candidacy would make mincemeat out of a lot of Demo. sacred cows. Take a look at the New Yorker article, C. Leeman notes that as soon as the speculation about C replacing Cheney in 04 began to go public, Cheney's spokes folk, including Cheney himself, began to say how eager he was to continue in his role as VP beyond 04. It would be a terrific combination that would ensure 43's re-election. Frankly, I find politics much harder to predict than that. Mondale thought something like that in 84.
