Advice to Cheney from a Friend

James P. Gannon, a former reporter for The Wall Street Journal and editor of The Des Moines Register, has written in USA Today that Dick Cheney should remove himself from the Republican ticket.

The argument is that Cheney has some negatives that the President, and other Republicans who might be candidates for VP, are free from. At the same time, his positives are less than they were in 2000.

One possible choice: John McCain, who has been somewhat fancifully advanced as a possibility for the Democratic ticket.

Makes sense to me.
