Vice President Dick Cheney says he's confident Republicans will rebound from this year's election defeats. But he doesn't know if Sarah Palin will be the candidate to lead the comeback.
Cheney said the Alaska governor who was John McCain's running mate this year is no lock to be the Republican nominee for president in 2012. Cheney says Palin will have to "earn it," just like anybody else would.
Besides capturing the White House, Democrats widened their majorities in the House and Senate in this year's elections.
Cheney likens the current political cycle to the 1970s, when Republicans lost the White House following the Watergate scandal. Republican Ronald Reagan won the presidency in 1980, after just a single term for Democrat Jimmy Carter.

What really grips me is Caroline who has absolutely no experience at all, and they (MSM) aren’t even using her married name.
Obama will be a one term president.
I couldn’t disagree more.
The economic meltdown is his PERFECT ALIBI for four years.
He can always say (with the enthusiastic agreement by the MSM),,,
“LOOK AT THE UNBELIEVABLE ECONOMIC MESS I INHERITED”!!
That’s a blanket excuse and a ‘free-pass’ that any politician could only dream of in their wildest dreams.
So true, and to hang around FR one would think that the Mainstream media is on a deathwatch.
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.
Lol, laughing at your ‘wordiness’. Can I say ‘typical’? heh
” McCain refused to say he’d support her IF Palin were the candidate”
really?
Where, when?
I’m very surprised.
.
Bumperoooooo
hehehe! :^D
= We’ve got some great other young governors. I think you’re going to see the governors assume a greater leadership role in our Republican Party,” he said. He then mentioned governors Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota and Jon Huntsman of Utah.
Just as I thought.
Like Cheney, he’s saying the GOP nomination is open.
He did NOT say he would not support her IF she were the nominee.
a difference without a distinction.
Well as a RINO, I can without resolve say that unless we unite then the RINO money ain’t coming. Palin has continued to unimpress even after the election (as for family values how about she get her daughter married as well). I’ll toss my vote to Jindal or Huckabee before Palin and the RINOs with money will agree. Just tellin it like it is
Keep your money and your RINO candidates. Go find another loser to support.
