Here is video of James Taranto from the Wall Street Journal saying former Vice-President Dick Cheney just may be the best candidate for the GOP to run for President in 2012. Taranto was raising the question, "What if Dick Cheney is right" on the issue of using "enhanced interrogation" techniques on terrorists to keep America safe.
The MSNBC hosts were incredulous that Taranto was saying anything positive about Dick Cheney, and launched into their usual attacks on Cheney about "torture" etc. But Taranto flatly said there is no evidence of Obama claims that "enhanced interrogations" made the U.S. less safe, but there is a lot of evidence that they actually worked at saving American lives and preventing further attacks. Taranto seems to think it is likely there will be further attacks on the U.S. as a result of Obama's "much gentler policies toward terrorists," which he said he hoped did not happen. But if it does, he believes Americans will quickly turn to someone like Cheney with experience and toughness in dealing with threats to the nation. . . . (Watch Video)

So if given the choice between Palin and Chaney who would cause more liberal heads to explode.

If Dick Cheney ran in 2012, he'd get my vote and probably the votes of conservatives and traditionalists from coast to coast.
The libs can stuff it.

I would love to see that. To the extent that Palin needs to learn how Washington works (I’m not sure she does) there would be no better teacher than Cheney.

How about Cheney/Rumsfeld?
Seriously though, no more coronations from the GOP. Let’s ahve a real primary.
To: Federalist Patriot
I’d be surprised if it happened. Cheney’s health would just not be up to it, imo. Particularly on the campaign trail.

I worry about Chaney’s heart condition. I don’t think he’ll make it that long.

I've been dreaming of a Palin/Cheney ticket but if there is another terrorist attack and it's a bad one a Cheney/Palin ticket might be a better choice.
Cheney as the next CIA director would be nuclear also.

That first woman was pretty strident. Taranto was there to "ask questions" and she didn't seem to think that was appropriate behavior for a news show. Gotta toe that party line!
Also, it's a shame that she is able to use John McCain to boost Obama's ideas and to denigrate Cheney's ideas.
McCain really torques me.

I love Dick Cheney and I love how the left gets furious when he’s ever mentioned.

It would be absolutely great... Cheney/Palin in 2012... but I don’t think Cheney’s health would permit a presidential run...
