Kay Bailey Hutchison cautious in praising Sarah Palin
ST. PAUL, Minn. – Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison contrasted the full-throated defense of Sarah Palin by some in her party and lowered the bar Wednesday by offering her own statesman-like, cautious praise for the vice presidential nominee.
Asked if Ms. Palin is ready to be vice president, Ms. Hutchison said that "she offers a lot to the ticket. We'll see in the coming weeks how she does, where she goes. And I think she's going to do fine."

I saw an interview the other day with her after she was notified of not being selected VP....she came across flat or at least less then enthusiastic.

Sounds like KBH is jealous.

I didn’t see anything wrong with her response.

I heard her on 740 AM in Houston today and she seemed very supportive of her. I know KB is a RINO but I am sure the Dallas Morning News is trying to find any division within the Republican Party. The Dallas Morning News wouldn’t try to miquote her or “spin” the story would they?????

I agree. I’ve always regarded KBH as Hillary-lite.

I don’t either, KBH is a very low key woman, which is one of the reasons she was not chosen. She’s also in her 60’s, so her age was not right, but she has never been a cheerleader/firebrand speaker, she has a reputation for being rather mundane, NTTAWWT!

Isn’t she planning a RINO run for the Governor herself?

To: impeachedrapist
On the eve of Gov. Palin’s all important speech, KBH talks of Palin as though she was discussing a blemish.
The GOP has to be very, very enthusiastic this week.
I still say Sen. KBH is jealous.

She is a pro-choice MeCain Republican, not a Conservative!
...doing as little as possible on our border fence!
To: RexBeach
Maybe she’s jealous, I dunno. Sure didn’t seem that way to me. Only opportunity I really thought she missed was when she said Palin doesn’t have Biden or McCain’s experience. True, but she should have jumped all over Obamessiah’s lack of experience.

C’mon, Kay. Get on board.

Anyone know what Maine’s 2 RHINOS Snowe & Collins have said about Palin?

She doesn’t want to be VP. KBH wants to be gov of TX.

KBH is a fine person.....but she is a MSM Republican, no doubt.
As a Republican it is the ONLY was to stay in office, get good press, and not be ruined!

She's the past. Palin’s the future. I have no idea what they expected her to say, but KBH was criticized as an “ex-cheerleader” back when she ran for the senate. She knows how the leftists attack.
I think she must have thought she had a chance at the veep slot herself and is somewhat disappointed.

She doesn’t know anything about Palin. She just wants to wait a few weeks to see how good she is. Makes sense.
To: wideawake
A meaningless sense of the Senate vote.
National Right to Life counts her a friend on 93.6% of her votes, going back years.
