Reply #46: Let's assume Chimpy and Cheney are both "Un-Indicted Co-conspirators" [View All]

[akarnitz]

I see it playing out this way:
1)Cheney resigns
2)Bush hand picks new VP
3)Bush sticks it out for impeachment
4)The chips fall where they will and we've got either Bush or Cheney's successor in the WH

OR THIS
1)Cheney resigns
2)Bush picks new VP
3)Bush resigns
4)Cheney's successor in WH

I just can't see both Chimpy and Cheney going down at precisely the same time, so as to allow Hastert to become President. Call it a gut feeling, but I'm not sure that the GOP has a enough confidence in Hastert to allow him to move into the WH.
