What should McCain do about Cheney?

Jonathan MartinWed Jun 11, 5:52 AM ET

He’s a highly effective fundraiser in an election cycle where Republicans are starved for cash, a hero to the wing of the party that views John McCain with the most suspicion. He has four decades of campaign experience, ranging from a short stint running Gerald Ford’s election bid in 1976 to two successful races on the presidential ticket.

Yet despite that pedigree, Vice President Dick Cheney is unlikely to share a stage with McCain anytime soon’and may not be called on to play any role at all in the 2008 presidential campaign.

In part, it’s a reflection of political expediency. Though Cheney is one of the nation’s most influential and talked about vice presidents ever, his favorability ratings are near toxic lows.

Cheney was alluding to an interview McCain gave to Politico in which he said President Bush ‘listened too much to the Vice President’ and had been ‘very badly served by both the vice president and, most of all, the secretary of defense.’

Of course, McCain hasn’t always been critical of Cheney.

In an interview he gave to the Weekly Standard’s Stephen Hayes in 2006 for Hayes’s biography, ‘Cheney: The Untold Story of America's Most Powerful and Controversial Vice President,’ McCain said: ‘I will strongly assert to you that he has been of enormous help to this president of the United States.’
