Cheney Prepares for the Worst -- Resignation in the Air?

US News & World Report says the biggest rumor in Washington today is that Vice President Dick Cheney is considering resignation if indicted in the Plame Affair.

Reports in the last two days have suggested that the Office of the Vice President is the focus of the grand jury probing leaks of a CIA agent's identity.

With indictments possible as early as this week, US News reports that rumors are flying fast and furious that the White House is preparing for the worst. That includes the possibity that Vice President Cheney would resign if indicted. The favorite scenario appears to be that President Bush would then nominate Secretary of State Condeleeza Rice as Vice President. (US News)
