69. Beat me to it
Cheney wants back in power - IMHO that's why he's so visible all of a sudden, so people won't forget about him. He doesn't want the title, just the strings to pull.

As far as I can tell, there's nothing in the Constitution that prevents him from being elected VP again.

Then they'll say we were safer under republican rule. I wouldn't put it pass the leaders of America's defense franchises to mastermind an attack.
