re: you missed my point
"If Bush is ousted mid-term, would Cheney not be the Prez? As Ford followed Nixon... "
Ok. I did miss your point. Cheney would be Prez, and would do a good job of it. But I doubt he would try to run for President like Ford did.
Btw what makes think Bush would be ousted? I think there is better chance he is assassinated or dies from natural causes.
