Report: Cheney Not Appearing At GOP Convention

Conservative magazine the American Spectator reports:

Vice President Dick Cheney will not make an appearance at the Republican convention in Minneapolis-St. Paul next month, according to sources in his office. Cheney has not sought a speaking slot at the convention, nor has his staff sought a role for him at the convention.

The McCain campaign has not gone out of its way to reach out to Cheney, though a segment of conservative Republicans had been pressing the campaign to include Cheney in the convention agenda.

The Spectator says Cheney and McCain don't get along. A Cheney spokesperson tells the LA Times only that "the vice president has a great deal of respect for John McCain and as of last Friday was out campaigning for him."
