I don't care how articulate she is, conservatives are not going to support Liz Cheney.

At a time when conservatives are craving for someone who has spent their formative years and career outside of Washington, Liz has NO real-world background or executive experience; she is a lawyer who worked on behalf of internationalists and she has worked in the state department. In other words, she's a government bureaucrat/lawyer.

Liz also worked with the Romney campaign.

The ugly truth here is that she'll destroy Palin in a debate, and that what makes it sad, because (assuming this is all true) she is clearly putting her ego ahead of what's good for the nation. Her running for President will just split conservatives and then we'll get a chump like Huckabee/Pawlenty/Romney as the disastrous result.

Liz would be an excellent Secretary of State - and that's pretty much it. I wouldn't even want her for VP because her last name will just turn off independents who remember her father tied with Bush.

I believe the promotion of Liz is from Republican insiders turned off by Palin.

I’m certainly not turned off by Palin but I’m more impressed when I hear Liz speak.

“her last name will just turn off independents who remember her father tied with Bush”

I agree with your analysis on Liz Cheney and her appeal to independents. But to be fair and balanced, we tend to ignore Palin’s appeal to independents which is anemic at best.

I dont know. After Obama plows America into the ground, the people may be willing to vote for any Republican. And that is the biggest threat to the GOP. The party may feel they can trot out anyone and we will vote for them because he isnt Obama.
We have to send a message that we will not tolerate any more RINOS. We wont vote for anyone because it was his turn to run. We want someone to stand up for the freedoms that made this land the envy of the known world. We need to drive that home. Sometimes the GOP snatches defeat from the jaws of victory. We have to remind them that they serve US>
