The WSWS

has a commentary on the Scooter Libby conviction.

As I was trying to wake up this morning, I was listening to KGO radio, and there seemed to be some speculation now that Cheney has conveniently gotten sick with a blood clot, that he might step down and Condoleeza Rice might step in his place. And, if that happens, it could change the entire makeup of the presidential race.

I don't think Cheney is going to step down unless absolutely necessary. And I still don't think he is going to be charged with anything with regard to the Libby case.

But you never know.
