Today's Washington Times reports that a small Cheney-for-President contingent is growing both larger and more vocal. Larry Kudlow who writes for National Review, Fred Barnes of The Weekly Standard, and Tod Lindberg of Policy Review have all written columns recently urging the VP to run for the Oval Office in 2008.
They say his foreign-policy credentials make him the most qualified heir to Mr. Bush's legacy of Middle East democratization. "He's the logical successor," Mr. Barnes said. "He has the experience at the highest levels of government that no one else can match. And he is the embodiment, along with President Bush himself, of the achievements of the Bush administration."
It seems as though the list of possible/probable Republican candidates grows larger everyday. Cheney in '08? Sitting here today, in March of '05, I find it highly unlikely that Vice-President Cheney would run for office in 2008. However, if no one in the already large group of hopefuls is able to break away from the pack by summer of '06 he might be forced to run.
