So, Is Liz His VP?

Look who is getting more momentum for a 2012 bid.

At first, it seemed like a joke. Wall Street Journal columnist James Taranto opined on Monday that -- if the 2012 election were to turn to national security -- "it's hard to think of a better candidate... than Richard B. Cheney."

But while his headline -- "Cheney for President" -- provoked guffaws in some quarters, several of the party's most well-regarded strategists and pollsters are actually taking the idea deadly seriously.

Amazing isn't it. It seems like he would be a great president, but Sammy Stein reminds us that there are a few little things stopping a President Cheney Administration from happening

Of course, speculating about a Cheney presidency is ludicrous for many reasons. For starters, it's three years and several months until the general election. Moreover, the former vice president's age and health remain a major issue (as they did when he was picked to be VP nine years ago). And then there's the matter of his resume.

But hey, for Republicans, anyone sounds good. Including maybe even another "Dick", Richard Nixon.
