Repubs Not Ready to Cut the Ball and Cheney

Rumors persist that Dick Cheney will be dropped from the Republican ticket due to his ongoing heart problems. This gossip is fueled in part because the Vice President's personal doctor recently resigned (according to a story in the New Yorker, this MD was relieved of his duties because of a substance problem). For his part, Cheney strongly denies the rumor that he will not be part of the re-election effort. In a television interview to be broadcast Sunday, he says that President Bush "has made [it] very clear he doesn't want to break up the team . . I suppose right now, because we're in the run-up to the convention, people don't have much to talk about so you get speculation on that. It's normal. When we get to the convention, I think that'll put an end to that."
