Not surprising. Cheney has been going soft since his daughter went gay. Also why would he offer this at this time? See that is really the thing. Its not as if this is valuable advice or even relevant. Team McCain threw Palin to the wolves. If anything Palin proved by not only surviving but surviving as an unquestionabl powerful political force that she most certainly is capable of taking over.
You have to realize that this kind of talk from guys like Cheney and also House and Senate GOP leaders is meant to telegraph a message. The message seem to be that after Mitt wins we are in control not Palin not you slubs in the grass roots. I hope I am wrong on this and maybe this is just Cheney being Cheney but guys like this are too smart not to say this crap in a calculated way.
We both know that what you say is exactly what is happening. progressive republican leaders are in control of the party, and if they win the coming election... maybe the White House, Senate and House... and they will then be in control of everything... including our lives and how we live them. THAT is the message... the message... “RESISTANCE IS FUTILE”. Well not for me it isn’t.

Romney may win the presidency, but Palin will own the undercard. She will be the de facto leader of the party regardless of that Dicks like Richard say.
