Cheney was scheduled to raise money for the Republicans at an event Wednesday in Bozeman. The Montana Republican Party said Monday it was informed that Cheney had a scheduling conflict. Shortly afterward, the White House announced that Cheney is getting ready to visit three former Soviet Republics - Azerbaijan, Georgia and Ukraine - in the wake of unrest in the region.

Montana GOP Executive Director Jake Eaton says the party was told that Cheney may reschedule a Montana fundraiser later in the fall.
