Run, Cheney, run!

Bob Woodward predicts that Cheney will run for president in 2008. Even if he can continue frankensteining himself long enough to make it. And Bob Woodward doesn't seem to have the journalistic 'chops' that he did a few decades ago.


Speaking in the Paepcke Auditorium as part of the Aspen Institute's McCloskey Speaker Series, Woodward on Tuesday listed a number of reasons it is "highly likely" President Bush might implore Cheney to seek the Oval Office.
"He would be 67 if he ran and was elected. Reagan was 69. Republicans always like the old warhorse. ... Nixon was 68," said Woodward, best known for exposing the Watergate scandal that led to Richard Nixon's resignation in 1974. "Both parties like to nominate vice presidents. ... Cheney would do it, and I think it's highly likely, so stay tuned."
