Wasn’t John McCain raked over the coals here last week for saying essentially the same thing as Cheney?
Don’t disturb the echo chamber.
John McCain chose Sarah to be his running mate. He said he was confident she was qualified to be president should something happen to him. Cheney does not have such a close association with Governor Palin.
Difference! McCain refused to say he’d support her IF Palin were the candidate. Cheney said it’s not determined whether she will be the candidate, which is just stating the irrelevant obvious truth.
