So why isn't cheney running for president? Many VP's do.

[Philosoraptor]

He's such a ball of energy and such a make it happen kind of guy, why isn't he even interested in grabbing the reins that he himself has held for all these years? Lots of VP's have become presidents, and lots have run, why won't you dick?

Remember when dick picked his own self to be VP when daddy bush hired him to find a good one for his mentally challenged boy? Why is there no fire in cheney's fat belly to continue the fun from the white house himself? Why doesn't he want to become president cheney?

1. He doesn't have the heart for it.

[soothsayer]

15. badoom boom!

[NYCGirl]

2. 9% approval rating. NT

[ScreamingMeemie]

3. Because he died two years ago...

The appearance required on the campaign trail would be a bit rough. :hi:

[RaleighNCDUer]

8. "Weekend at Cheney's"

Kind of hard to maintain for 9 months.

[AndyA]

4. There are too many lucrative things awaiting him in the private sector.

Pay back for all those billions in contracts awarded during his "public service". :eyes:

[Virginia Dare]

5. Why should he? He's already had a de facto 8 year term..

he's made boat fulls of money for himself and his circle of minions and overlords, and he'll retire to a coushy life in Bahrain making more boat fulls of money.

6. he likes the de facto pResidency much better.

[RaleighNCDUer]

7. Not eligible.

He's already been president for two terms.

[RedStateShame]

9. He plans to spend the rest of his life running from the law.

[Catherine Vincent]

10. He was the shadow president. n/t

[Philosoraptor]

12. The most powerful VP ever.

It's been said many times, many ways.

[Benhurst]

11. He has told several people he will run

if there is a breakthrough in electric batteries.

[samq79]

13. He's spent the last 7 years, by and large, living in a bunker...

and over 90% of Americans DISapprove of the job he's doing as VP.

So with those facts and the known disillusion of this administration, I share in your bewilderment...why? How about Cheney/his rifle in 2008?

[Bravo Zulu]

14. his plan is to let the Democrats win

and let them take all the blame for the disaster he's created!

[muffin1]

16. He'll be spending all of his time

Making sure his grandchild doesn't turn gay.:D
