Dick Cheney has some advice for Mitt Romney on choosing a running mate: Don't pick another Sarah Palin.
In his first interview since receiving a heart transplant in March, Cheney told ABC News, that John McCain's decision to pick Palin as his running mate in 2008 was "a mistake" - one that it is important from Romney not to repeat.
It's subject on which Cheney has some unique experience. He helped Presidents Gerald Ford and George W. Bush lead their vice presidential searches and, of course, served as vice president for eight years. He's also privately offered some advice to both Romney and Beth Myers, who is leading Romney's search for a runningmate, on the process.
Cheney would not comment on what he told Romney and Myers, but he was harsh in his assessment of McCain's decision to pick Palin.
"That one," Cheney said, "I don't think was well handled."
"The test to get on that small list has to be, 'Is this person capable of being president of the United States?'"
Cheney believes Sarah Palin failed that test.
"I like Governor Palin. I've met her. I know her. She - attractive candidate. But based on her background, she'd only been governor for, what, two years. I don't think she passed that test
of being ready to take over. And I think that was a mistake."

Don't mess with Mama Grizzly's!
Reminds me of Lot and Sodom and Gomorrah. Find me 50, find me 10, find me 5.....find me just 1. Not the exact numbers, just giving the jist =).
I don't have my copy of Going Rouge nearby and I need a refresh, who is this Schmidt guy and if he was such an ass, why was he working with Sarah?
Preach it sister... I will be your Amen chorus!
LLS
Gee, Dick. How many years did you serve as Governor before you became Vice President?
Oh, that's right. You were never a Governor, but that's ok. We know that was different.
I hope you have liquids on the keyboards of others insurance. My lawyer will be in touch.
Soon.
:-)
We’re one other’s AMEN chorus!
Schmidt was the campaign manager for McCain. Sarah had no choice but to work w/ them.
They are the ones who set her up.
Exactly. Not only, though, are there those who will hold their noses and vote for Mittens, but they deride us for not following them. They do not realize they are being as spineless as the RINO-sellouts in Congress. They are the Jews who got on the trains hoping it won’t be so bad.
AMEN to that, lol!!!!
Thank you onyx!!
I Stand with Sarah!
Amen Sister!
The schmuck and female dog side kick were also the ones speaking badly about Sarah after the loss.
I'm in the camp who says mclame only got my vote because Sarah was on the ticket.
"Minimal experience"?
It's amazing how much staying power that liberal lie has, and how many conservatives actually bought into it.
If you had ever done the barest amount of research into Palin's record, you'd know that she had twenty years of service in Alaskan state government when she ran for VP. Not only that, of the four opponents in that race, she was the ONLY one with any real executive experience.
The other three were all legislators, which is poor preparation to become the nation's chief executive.
Tricky Dick at it again. between him and GWB, I don’t know who did more damage to the GOP.
So when you tried to put that Putz in his place was that before or after the election?
I know the GOP-e has always hated her, but then why would they let their main man Juan pick her in 08? I have never been able to answer that.
