Cheney's popularity according to the polls is less than 10%, and he is largely viewed as the directing influence of all that has come undone, within this administration. Cheney has done nothing to endear himself to Congress, so where will he find support in response to impeachment proceedings? Even Bush has put some distance between himself and his Vice President.

I think Kucinich made this move because he believes it is the appropriate thing to do, rather than for personal political advantage. Politics will be the major motivation in how others respond to this.

I am inclined to think that Cheney, like Rumsfeld, has become a liability for the President, and that Cheney will resign soon due to medical reasons. This only serves as another distraction to far more important revelations and investigations that are not getting enough notice.
