Here (NL) they think he will take John Edwards (I hope this is the correct one, after two weeks I already forgot some of their names, I mean one of those who had been campagning almost till the end)
And to sir die a lot: I think Cheney is important for Bush for the contacts in industry, and making sure there will be enough campaign money. Plus if he chooses another running mate now, that would not exactly be positive for the campaign I think, it wouyld cost him a lot of votes.
Anyway I hope that Kerry wins, I'd rather not see the end of Bush' "destroy the planet in 8 years" scheme. :D
