Glenn Reynolds makes the point again that Dick Cheney is more of a liability than an asset this time around:

I still think that they should get rid of Cheney in favor of Condi Rice. Cheney’s contribution to the ticket the first time around was (as we heard over and over again) gravitas. Bush doesn’t need him for that now. Cheney also has a lot of baggage, which Bush also doesn’t need. And his role in the Administration is open to question — I’ve recently spoken to a couple of current and former Administration folks, with no particular axes to grind, who think that Cheney’s doing considerably more harm than good.

I still think that such a move would be very wise and may in fact happen at the convention in September. It would a great boost for Bush going into the final eight weeks of the campaign. Cheney could step down honorably, citing health and family concerns, and allow Condi to step in. She wouldn’t have to endure the rigors of the campaign trail and could bask in the spotlight of the media attention. I mean, who could Kerry pick that would garner more attention than Condi? It’d be spectacular!
