US Ambassador "concerned" that

2008 election will be postponed

Republicans vs. the Constitution
So we're not the only ones to think this way.

I thought that by now the White House would have decided that the strains of the job on his health were too much for Mr. Cheney to continue as vice president, that he would then have stepped down for valid health reasons, and the Republicans would have plugged into the position a viable 2008 presidential candidate.

I can think of several reasons why they didn’t do that (I will give them credit for enough intelligence to at least realize they had a problem). First, Mr. Bush felt he couldn’t live without Mr. Cheney around. Second -- and I suspect this is probably the truth of the matter -- Mr. Cheney didn’t want to step down, and Mr. Bush decided he didn’t care what happened to the Republican Party after he was out of the White House.

There is also the late-at-night, eerie concern that Mr. Bush has in his head some sort of scenario where, for reasons of national security -- real or drummed-up -- the 2008 elections will have to be postponed and he will get to stay on.

My suspicions [are based on] the feeling I have that, given their operating style NOW, this bunch will NOT leave the White House EASILY in 2009.

Nice to see this mainstreamed at last.

Because when the going gets tough, the tough get foily.

Because, really, when do monarchs ever voluntarily surrender power?
