Cheney is of course correct. I’m sure we all wish he would have said more to boost her (and maybe slap at McLame a little), but that’s not how he works.
Watch Palin’s re-election run in two years. That will tell you her plans.
Quite honestly, I wouldn’t want an endorsement from Cheney. That said, he didn’t endorse anyone but merely spoke the truth-—ANYONE thinking of running for the presidential nomination at ANY point in time must earn it....period. If she wants it, I believe Palin is in the best position to earn it—she has the name recognition, support of most Republicans currently, and she can certainly outcampaign just about anyone (even McCain gave her that-—and he gave her almost nothing otherwise).
However, I’m afraid stockstrader could be correct. The MSM is so emphasizing the horrible economic situation which BHO is “inheriting” that any improvement whatsoever, no matter how minute, will be credited to him. I do not want any of our young guns, including Palin, to run in ‘12 if BHO has a popularity rating exceeding 50-52%. We know he has the ground game to run effectively, and I don’t want Palin (or Jindal) to be a sacrificial lamb.
