Among those on the "short list" who may now be out of the running are Illinois Governor Jim Edgar, who has had quadruple heart bypass surgery; Michigan Governor John Engler, who has a weight problem; and former Defense Secretary Dick Cheney, who suffered a mild heart attack in 1978 and underwent heart bypass surgery. -- Lamia Abu-Haidar
