Advisers Likely Will Change if Bush Wins

The article ends with this: "Vice President Dick Cheney, perhaps the most influential member of Bush's war council, has weathered speculation that he might be replaced on the GOP ticket. He has been an active campaigner and has drawn continual expressions of support from Bush.

But he is still a potential wild card. Cheney's approval ratings are even lower than Bush's. And, after four heart attacks, his health remains a concern."

I continue to disagree with folks who think Cheney will be replaced as Bush's running mate. If President Bush was going to replace his veep, he would have done it earlier before the campaign heated up. Such a move could have been easily explained by Cheney's health. Kicking Cheney out at this point will be interpreted as an act of desperation by the president in order to boost floundering poll numbers.

It would make all those Bush/Cheney 2004 signs and bumper stickers cool collector items though.
