What a surprise, Kean, Jr. managed to miss being seen with Dick Cheney. You can take the RINO out of the country club, but you can't take the country club out of the RINO.
If Kean is too ashamed to be seen with the Vice President, maybe Vice President Cheney should attend fundraisers for conservatives who appreciate what he's done for his country, such as Rick Santorum.
There are times to stand firm on principle even if there's political risk, and there are times to cut your losses and settle for a little of something instead of a lot of nothing.
The Kean/Menendez falls in the second catagory. New Jersey conservatives should keep Kean For Senate signs in the air and barf bags in their pockets.
