Remember when Bob Woodward said that he suspected Dick Cheney would run for President in 2008?

From my post on The American Street 05/15/05: Bob Woodward was talking on The Chris Matthews Show Saturday and revealed a closely guarded secret about the upcoming 2008 Presidential race.

Woodward: Dark horse...Cheney, Cheney.

Nora O'Donnell, MSNBC's Chief White House correspondent gleefully replies: Ahhhhhh.

Bob quickly followed the statement up some interesting, investigative logic:

Woodward: Now think about this. Reagan was 69 when he was elected. If Cheney ran in '08, guess how old he would be? (pause-as he looks around the room)...67.
