Aspen - Renowned journalist Bob Woodward predicts Dick Cheney will be the Republican Party's presidential nominee in 2008 and that the vice president could face Democratic Sen. Hillary Clinton in a dramatic partisan showdown.
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."

Maybe if he got elected, all the liberals really would move to Canada. That'd be really nice.

Oh God, I hope you're not being serious. If so, you're using that same mentality that little children use when they're playing a game or racing or something like that. "If he wins, he cheated!!!" "Well what if you win?" "Well..then all's fair!" "Well isn't what you're saying a bit unfair?" "No, cause he's a jerk!".

Nice, Herman. You just summed up the Democrats in one paragraph. Congratulations.

It would depend very much on who he was running against, but I would definitely vote for Cheney. He has just the personality and the experience to run this country during these difficult times.

A Giuliani-McCain, or McCain-Giuliani, ticket would win -- probably by a landslide, or a ~60% vote at worst.
