Cheney 2008?
via the LA Times via The Smirking Chimp:
In the summer of 2000, Dick Cheney was appointed to find a vice presidential candidate for George W. Bush, and, as we now know, the winner of the search turned out to be Dick Cheney.
Today, Republicans are casting about for a successor to Bush. And the winner of that search just may turn out to be … Dick Cheney again.
The Draft Cheney movement is burbling just below the surface. Fred Barnes suggested it earlier this month in the Weekly Standard. Tod Lindberg of the Washington Times and Lawrence Kudlow of National Review Online echoed Barnes in columns this week.
Cheneymania has reached critical mass.
I was absolutely certain that Cheney would have a convenient infarct about now to open the inside track for Jeb or some other worthy winger for 2008. I just can't imagine Cheney carrying a general election. But the "keep the dream alive" meme will certainly appeal to the red meat Republicans.
For now, this is too strange to fully process.
