Tom Schaller at Tapped thinks Cheney will be "sacrificed". Interesting idea, but I don't really see it happening. However I didn't think they would get rid of Rumsfeld, so what do I know.
Schaller writes:
Cheney is the final sacrifice -- the last layer between Bush and the disapproving public, the skeptical media, and the angry Democrats. In one sense, having him there has always provided Bush a human (and humanizing-by-contrast) buffer against the hordes who oppose him and his policies. To sacrifice Cheney is therefore to have sunk to but one level above the very bottom, the core of the presidency itself.
