Why would Cheney resign? My Theory

So its starting to look like the leaky Plamegate fiasco might end in some indictments. They are even starting to mention that Cheney could possibly be indicted or he might resign. The Republicans would probably love it if they could clear Cheney out now, face it the guy does not have a chance of being president in 2008 (too many people hate him, don't trust him, and/or think he is about to drop dead). So why not get someone new into that Vice-President position to make them look presidential---maybe someone that couldn't normally get elected, (i.e., Condoleeza Rice). They would have to replace Cheney before the 2006 elections so that the Democrats couldn't interfere with the approval process.

Yes, I'm probably headed toward the deep end of conspiracy thinking....but frankly nothing much surprises me about Bush and his right wing cronies.
