This all assumes that Cheney would resign. I predict he'll just keel over one day from a massive heart attack in his secret location bunker. His last words will be "Kill 'em, kill 'em all!"

They have to find someone that hasnt been politically emasculated by GWB... Like Powell was...
With little research I found some candidates it appears "some" republicans are considering:
Bill Owens
William H. "Bill" Frist
John Ellis "Jeb" Bush
Marshall "Mark" Sanford
Norman "Norm" Coleman, Jr.
George F. Allen
Williard Mitt Romney
Rudolph W. "Rudy" Giuliani
Richard J. "Rick" Santorum
Charles T. "Chuck" Hagel
John S. McCain, III
George E. Pataki
Condoleezza Rice
Tom Ridge
Elizabeth H. Dole
Lots of those people are unelectable... Interesting list though...
Powell Says He Won't Run for Office
By GEORGE GEDDA, Associated Press Writer
BRUSSELS, Belgium - Secretary of State Colin Powell said Thursday he won't seek political office, dismissing suggestions that he run for governor or senator in New York.
Asked about a poll that shows him favored in a hypothetical matchup for the governor's race, Powell said, "I'm not going to be running for office even in my beloved home state of New York, as flattering as that poll might be."
The Quinnipiac University Polling Institute poll showed Powell leading Democrat Eliot Spitzer, New York's attorney general, 47 percent to 42 percent if they were the candidates for governor.
Some state Republicans have urged Powell to wage a different campaign in 2006: challenging Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (news - web sites), D-N.Y.
Powell shot down the idea of entering either race while attending a meeting of NATO (news - web sites) foreign ministers in Brussels.
"I don't think I've ever said I wouldn't be interested in public life again," Powell said. "I think I've repeatedly said over the course of nine-plus years that I've had no interest in political office."
Some Republicans began talking up Powell immediately after he announced on Nov. 15 he would be leaving the State Department.
New York's Republican Gov. George Pataki has not yet said whether he will seek a fourth term.
The telephone poll of 1,186 registered voters was conducted Dec. 3-6 and has a sampling error margin of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

We both agreed that Chaney will probably step down as VP at some point and let someone else enter the fray... A person who the Republicans think will be the next president..
But who will that person be?
