Like Jim Geraghty, I have it on very, very, VERY good authority that Dick Cheney will not be a candidate in 2008. I’m also hearing, from not as good an authority but a decent one, that McCain won’t run either. What this means is that for those who want a defense tough guy, Rudy has to be taken seriously. Like K-Lo, I think Tim Pawlenty should get a look or two, because he will get those looks in 2007.
