Hutchisons campaign confirmed today that Cheney will endorse the Texas Republicans March primary challenge of Gov. Rick Perry at a fundraiser next month.

Please enlighten us. Why is a man who has extensive executive experience, successfully cut taxes and spending, is a tiger of the second amendment not as a qualified as Palin or Obama to be president. BTW, when did Sarah cut taxes and spending like Johnson did?
Still won’t vote for her.
Perry has made his share of mistakes, for sure. Has he learned his lessons?
Sometimes I’m inclined to believe that he’s just not a very deep thinker and just goes with something that just sounds good at the time without thinking about the long term consequences. Or maybe he has some people advising him that he should be ignoring?
Somebody must have some dirt on Perry.
Cheney endorsing Kay Bailey Hutchison over Rick Perry??!! We are truly living in Bizarro World. Say it ain't so, Dick!
I’m shocked and I just don’t get it.
Cheney has just ceased being awesome.
This sucks and so does KBH.
So you prefer Hutchison?
Hutchison has defended Roe vs. Wade (and voted accordingly) and was member in a pro-abortion congressional group. She also supports embryonic stem cell research.
She has repeatedly mocked and belittled Governor Palin using ugly liberal talking points and MSM insults.
Guess Hutichson feels the need to endear herself to the rats and liberals.
Not to forget that she was one the pubbies voting for Obama’s fascist GIVE act.
Hutchison is for Democrats, not for Republicans, not to mention Conservatives.
I'll bet you're a Paulite.
This one hurts.
“Cheney has just ceased being awesome.”
Cheney has just ceased being to me.
Who the eff is Gary Johnson?
Well, Cheney is pretty devious and evil, so maybe he is purposely trying to sink KBH.
You’re right about conservatives. But Perry is miles better than Hairspray Kay.
RE: Cheney: Let’s see who has the touch: RNC/Cheney/Newt or Sarah.
What, has KBH promised to invade Iran, Cuba, or some other place to “spread democracy”? The GOP is off the rails.
I’ll enlighten you: Gary Johnson has zero chance at becoming President. You can find many good Conservatives across the country... doesn’t mean they can draw a crowd, rake in cash and win against Obama. Johnson may be a fine guy... if he (or anyone else) wants to have a shot at 2012 they need to step up nationally now. He is in obscurity and will do worse than... mmmh.... Ron Paul. That’s reality. I remember well the “internet” crowd and rah-rah optimism of the Ron Paul folks in the primaries. A flash in the pan...
>There are no conservatives running for Gov. of Texas, and let’s be honest, having Cheney back you isn’t going to win you any votes, period.<
Hmmm. Could Dick Cheney be the new Karl Rove?
Good FREAKING Grief!!! I am SO DISAPPOINTED!!! Maybe they mean MARY the Lesbian Cheney! WHY THE HELL would DICK CHENEY DO THIS?
YOu know, Dick, if you hold the butt of your shotgun up against your forhead when you go hunting, you will make decisions like this.
Maybe it’ll BACKFIRE AGAINST HUTCHINSON like NEWT’s support of DEDE HAS!!! Maybe Cheney is brilliant in this also!!
