The vice president also used the opportunity to campaign for the Bush-Cheney 2004 ticket and took a few shots at the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts.
While most political watchers consider Georgia to be solidly Republican in the presidential race, both national parties are watching the 12th District election closely. Four Democrats are campaigning to challenge Burns in the general election.
"We knew going in this was a district created for the Democrats," Burns said. "We knew it was going to be a hard re-election. But we're going to be ready. I wouldn't want to run against me."
Cheney declared to a standing ovation..."The United States will never seek a permission slip to defend the security of our nation."
