Ceratinly, loyalty counts for Bush and Rove. However, let's take a look at this week's headlines: Cheney says WMD are still in Iraq and the two vans were used for producing them. Bush, however, comes out to say "Well, mebbe not, mebbe we were misled by those dang CIA people."
Think of how this plays during debates. You've got Howard Dean (in my own little fantasyland) beating up Cheney on his claims of WMD, while he continues to affirm their exsistence; while Edwards hits Bush with "How do you expect the country to follow you if you can't even lead your own Vice President?"
This is a nice big fat stick. If Bush hugs Cheney in a death spiral, it should not be left to the side of the road. From this, Bush will learn the valuable life lesson that Loyalty's great and all, but in politics, loyalty will leave you with exactly one friend. Not a lot of votes in one friend.
This just in: Cheney retreats from WMD claims . Dang. Sounds like Cheney is learning the price of loyalty.
