I’d take it with no hesitation whatsoever. ---

I’d do it. I’m in the school of thought that says, “When the president asks you personally to do something, you do it.” (not including campaign ads, of course.) He’d never ask me, of course. Mr. Bush appoints only his pals, and I am categorically not his pal. I have no political dreams, so the guilt-by-association couldn’t hurt me. Besides, if he got shunted out of office by some twist of fate, maybe I could reverse some of the damage he has done. ---

Bush talks directly to god. Therefore Iraq will work out perfectly. I do not know how but with his connection it can only come out perfect. So hitch yourself to a situation that will make you huge in the world. ---

Only under the condition that I be addressed officially as “Your VPness”. (Ala Your Highness. Say it out loud.) 😃 ---

[Hijack]If Cheney indeed retired citing personal health, whom would Bush nominate to replace him? Whoever got through would sort of have incumbency on his side, but he’d also be tied to Bush (though I’m not sure W himself regards that as a bad thing).[/hijack] ---

I’d do it just for the sake of being a future _Jeopardy!_ question. “This man, though born in Canada, served as Vice-President.” _bing_ Who is Bryan Ekers? I might even be a daily double or (fingers crossed) Final Jeopardy. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/would-you-serve-as-bushs-vp/386720.md?page=1)
