    The VP after Cheney was Biden, a man with more years in the Federal Government than any three 2008 primary rivals combined.

      Did you look at the list at all? It’s not at all uncommon for the VP to be considered the next presumptive nominee. Which is what an understudy does.

          I never said less experienced. You’re supposed to have experience. Under study means you’re getting an inside track to be ready if you need to step in and then you should have a better resume next time hiring is done.
