US History Trivia: Which of these men never ran for President?

Countless elected officials in American history have, at some point or another, taken a stab at running for President of the United States.  The highest office in the land is also the most difficult to achieve, and at point it does seem like most every prominent American elected official publicly thinks about running at some point or another.  But, of these four prominent American politicians, one of them never actually ran for President.  So, off of Pocket Trivia: US History - Which of these four men never ran for President?  Dick Cheney, Strom Thurmond, Bill Bradley or George Wallace?

It wasn't Strom Thurmond.  Thurmond, a massive opponent of the civil rights movement, ran for President in 1948.  He won four states (all in the south) and took 39 electoral votes, but not enough to deny a majority to Truman.

Not Bill Bradley.  The former Democratic Senator from New Jersey (and a personal favorite of mine) ran for President in 2000, the only serious challenger to Vice President Al Gore.  Gore won New Hampshire and Iowa, and that effectively ended Bradley's campaign.

It wasn't George Wallace either.  The former Governor of Alabama ran for President twice: once in 1968 as a third party candidate (winning five states and nearly ten million votes) and again in 1972 - it was in 1972 that Wallace was shot by a would-be assassin and paralyzed from the waist down.

The correct answer is former Vice President Dick Cheney.  At various points, Cheney served as the White House Chief of Staff, a Congressman and Vice President, a position often regarded as a stepping for those with Presidential aspirations.  Yet, Cheney steadfastly denied that he would ever seek the highest office in the land - and he never did.  Prior to Cheney, every Vice President (Gore, Quayle, George H.W. Bush, Mondale) since Carter's administration ran for President.
