While I haven't seen any ratings in a while, doesn't he typically have less than 500K viewers on a nightly basis? Certainly more than Ventura or Keyes, but nothing to brag about.

Not if Bush resigned first.....The Senate would confirm just about any one in short order if Cheney was President and said he would not resign until a VP was confirmed

I would hate to have Pelosi as President.
