2. I welcome it
Put his record directly on the table.

The man has failed up his whole life. Obama would wipe the floor with him.

24. like the "liberal media" would expose it then, either ...
I mean, how often did you hear in the "liberal media" that he was defying a SCOTUS order to turn over the list of people he met with in Feb 2001? That he has YET to do so?

Less than two months after meeting with them, Hillary Clinton had to turn over her records as to who she met with, when it came to health care issues ...

45. Right.
I do not think he would even win the republican primary. Although they are going to have a relatively weak group running in 2012, it seems highly unlikely that Cheney could win. In fact, I doubt that he could invest the physical energies necessary to compete. His record? Oh, please, let him run!

25. Like he plans to run a fair election.
Poll numbers and ratings don't matter to people like Cheney. They have other means of getting elected.

And like Burr, he shot someone while in office!

51. In his "undisclosed location..." ;)
I remember when Reagan ran. I was visiting my grandmother who was living in a retirement community. People there were saying that they wouldn't vote for him because he was "too old..." :evilfrown:

6. Oh yes the MSM thinks it is better news to have one of those
bold wonderful republicans running for president than a real man or woman. After all we wouldn't be in the mess we are in now if is wasn't for bush and cheney.

The main thing I fault the present administration for is not going after these two architects of the plans for an invasion of an innocent country and the ruination of this one.

steal the election. Oh wait...Isn't that how bush was "elected?"

29. Cheney is still hilariously unpopular
in all circles but the extreme right-wing.

He's old, angry, has heart issues, and is just generally unlikable and completely incapable of winning an election with himself as the face of the franchise.

Edited on Fri Feb-19-10 05:17 AM by DFW
0.000001% of a chance is still not "completely ruling it out."

*on edit--besides, the Constitution prohibits serving more than two terms. He just got done
with 8 years as de-facto President.

47. Just Shows How Vacuous CNN Really Is
In any other advanced democracy on earth, a real news organization would be calling for indictments of Cheney, not cheerleading his possible run for the presidency.

Not CNN, the network of pandering to right wing criminals and fringe groups in desperation for ratings.

49. Wolf will say just about anything. I wouldn't run any farm set to his rooster.
Who knows what CNN was thinking when it hired this guy?

Cheney is widely reviled, and properly so.

I don't believe he has any chance of getting on the Republican ticket. I don't think he wants the job.
