re: #559 SixDegrees

This is a potential problem with Cheney’s newfound fascination with camera time. It gives the Democrats the ability to continue running against Bush for yet another term.

That is a really good point, but the problem is nobody else is really stepping up except Cheney. I really believe that a big reason for W’s low popularity was his unwillingness to smack back. I put that off to he being a gentleman & wishing to remain presidential. It wasn’t seen that way though, the perception was that his detractors must be right.
everybody seems afraid to take on Obama & I give Cheney high marks here.
