Liz Cheney: Yeah, I might run for office eventually

Her immediate focus is on raising her five kids, she says, but Palin proved that’s no insuperable obstacle to public service (even if one of those kids is, er, pregnant). Besides, time isn’t on LC’s side. Even though she’s young and has carved out a sweet media niche for herself over the last few months as a charming, mom-ish version of her dad, once he fades from the political scene, she necessarily will too unless she can build some independent national role for herself in the meantime. But where? A Virginia congressional seat is one possibility, but the state’s been trending blue and has youngish, popular Democrats at the top in Webb, Warner, and Kaine. She could take advantage of Dick’s Wyoming roots and try to carpetbag it out there in a safe red state, but Enzi and Barrasso are both in the way and not particularly old.

Or maybe, instead of running now, she could hitch her wagon to some other popular Republican as an advisor/spokesman and build her name recognition that way. Hmmmmmmm:

SHe’s on Hannity right now.....In futre in may workout for her family...WHo knows what...Issues are important facing the nation....

Democrats on the hill leak....American would agree with killing top Aq leaders.

Domocrats don’t believe we are at war...don’t want to address it.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Someone please tell me Virigina isn’t really turning Democrat.

Those 12 electoral votes ought to be Republican every election. A damn shame if it goes for Hussein’s party.

[fkabuckeyesrule]

I’m watching too. She gets her charisma from her mother.

[Dysart]

My first time seeing her live...very striking intellect and persuasive in her delivery.

Liz, I like what I've heard so far.  Keep it up.  Let's get you in a governor's mansion for a term or two quick.


                          The following is directed to Freepers who haven't donated or signed up for monthlies yet...

22% is good.  100% is better.  You know you're going to do it.  Pull the trigger!  You don't have to pay it all now.  $5 now, $25 next week, $10 later... keep the ball rolling.

Monthly donorship is a good way for us to avoid having to do the Freepathons.  Besides, it's a great way to pony up in style.
If you're on the verge of becoming a monthly donor or you think you would like to up your monthly donation a bit, has Jim got a deal for you. 
Check this out.  There's an added incentive for a limited time only.  (Always wanted to type that...)

Thanks to Freepers who have been frequenting the Freepathon thread to ham it up with folks over there.  It helps to raise the visibility of the Freepathon.

Jump into the Monthly Donorship special thread too.

The Spirit Of Allegiance says, "For those about to donate, I salute you!"  So do I.

Sarah and Liz 2012: Cause the Dudes Just Ain’t Cuttin’ It.

[DoughtyOne]

Hah! B.S. Her dad has more charisma in his little finger than any Democrat I know. I like Lynn too, but don’t sell Dick short. There’s a reason the left can’t stomach the guy. He hands them their lunch better than all but a few Republicans.

The guy has CEO written all over him. And no wonder...

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

I really see Liz in an advisory or appointed role. No-brainer as WH spokesperson or Chief of Staff. I don’t think she’s elective office material. You can just tell by her style. A Congressional seat is beneath her anyway.

[Dysart]

I like Lynn too, but don’t sell Dick short.

Ok then.

[hoosiermama]

Don’t think it would be much to get her on Sarah’s team....with her background in the ME maybe SS. Now as an advisor or national campaign manager.

Mary Matelin worked for her father and would also be great on the team.

Cheney understands - when you do an interview with the MSM you don’t go to give your platform. You go to destroy the reporter and his platform.

And if they’re good enough to be nice you go after some other liberal enemy. But you never go in to be nice, unless you’re doing CBN or some other friendly venue.

[Dysart]

I don’t think she’s elective office material.

Why not? Too dry?

[IMissPresidentReagan]

Trademark it, and put it on a sticker and I’ll cover my car in ‘em.

[bigbob]

I agree - IMHO she couldn’t have been more obvious as to her real hopes, using the Palin “fish run” analogy and all. I love it!

[PLKIng]

I have always thought that Liz is a real cutie and very, very sharp. I am glad she is on our side. I would love to see her in politics but love the role she is playing right now of taking it to the talking lib heads.

[DoughtyOne]

Heh heh heh...

[DoughtyOne]

One look from that eagle eye, and he has the reporters retreating. He lays it on the line. He’s actually rather funny too at times, but he’s a no nonsense type of guy. I don’t agree with him on all issues, but I do admire his style.

He’s your enforcer!

[CheneyChick]

Papa Cheney is the best VP this country has ever had. Run, Liz, Run!

[pandemoniumreigns]

The first time I ever heard her, I thought I was listening to her mom...Smart, articulate, combative and RIGHT...And damn if if the voice aint the same...bring it on Liz...
