Is Cheney Running in 08?
On DailyKos, they're saying that Bob Woodward thinks he will. I've been wanting to ask this for awhile now. I never understood where it was ever said that Dick Cheney would NEVER run.

2. Sniff, sniff...
OK so Cheney runs and the DLC gets a corporate shill in as the Democratic candidate and we have another 8-years of tweedle-dum/tweedle-dee good-cop/bad-cop bullshit foisted onto us.

Screw that.

We need to make sure that the Democratic Party nominee is from the Democratic wing of the party.

3. NO. Cheney HATES campaigning...
and dealing with regular folks and the general public.

He's also a shameless draft dodger having had "other priorities" while eligible for the draft. Seven years of exemptions.

His health also stinks.

Not going to happen.

6. Being President would require him to come out of his hole now and then....
Dick would rather stay underground and control some idiot like Allen or Santorum. They got away with two puppets already (Reagan & Chimp)

9. Running would require him to make public appearances.
Puppetbastard Gunga Dick don't want any of that. The guy prefers to be a quasi-spook lurking in the shadows. There's so much evil shit we don't know about him, and with a campaign all of that would float to the surface like several bodies in a creek.

Besides, Cheney ain't exactly Mr Charisma as a speaker.
