Cheney endorsing Kay...

Former Vice President Dick Cheney is endorsing Kay for governor (link). I agree with The Patriot Room blog...
Wow. Gotta see the reasons for this one. Cheney rarely makes the wrong call when it comes to conservatives versus moderates, so this is a head-scratcher.
I am betting the Bush team are sick of hearing about Rick bash Washington and bash bailouts and even "Republicans who acted like Democrats" over the past several years... Rick is also famous for saying "George was never a fiscal conservative" back in 2007 about President Bush.

This is definitely a big endorsement... it depends on how much they use Cheney... is he raising money, is he out there giving speeches, or is he going to play behind the scenes? Same goes for all endorsements I suppose...

The former VP versus the 2008 VP candidate is an interesting angle... Cheney vs. Palin... lots of things at work here....

After the way that Newt Gingrich endorsed Dede Scozzafava and got a lot of blow back from the conservative base, it is interesting that Cheney would endorse the moderate instead of the conservative...

Hey now, campaign characters. Be nice. I know a lot of you on both sides, so I don't want any overly foul language, personal attacks on anyone other than the candidates themselves, or other party fouls. I will moderate the heck out of you if you start breaking the bounds of civility.
