I would be AMAZED if Bush dropped Cheney the evil one.
And, I would be completely amazed if Powell were to accept the chance to run as V.P.
Powell was never all gung ho to invade Iraq. In fact, during the build up, there was whispers of him being removed because he wasn't on line with Iraq. (Probably because he's an actual soldier and has seen men die up close and personal unlike the fortunate sons and chicken hawks that pervade the Bush administration.)
I remember on the build up to the invasion of Iraq that the Media was reporting severe friction between Powell and Cheney and Powell and Rumsfeld and Powell and Wolfowitz. The chicken hawks were using the media to tar and feather Powell as being soft on terrorism somehow as if to set him up for the fall that they were frothing at the mouth for.
Eventually, he came on side, but he was never convincing in this role. You just know in your heart that he didn't see the need to invade Iraq. I believe it was Powell who said, "you can invade Iraq, but then you will own the place" I am paraphrasing here, but the intent is clear.
Lastly, I also remember Powell saying that he would serve out his term as Secretary of State, but would not accept a second term.
I would be utterly amazed if he would accept an offer to be VP from Peanut Brain.
