No, not Dick Cheney, the retired vice president.
Liz Cheney, his daughter and former deputy assistant secretary of state, the one who has been doing a lot of defense for her dad on television lately.
On FOX News Channel's Your World With Neil Cavuto today, she left open the possibility of running for public office in two or four years -- "We'll see,'' she said.
"I don't have any plans right now,'' she added, noting, "I'd say that I need to convince my five children to serve as my campaign staff, and we'll be off and running.''

Oh Dear God, PLEASE RUN!
As a Dem, I would love nothing better than to have the Repug party continue to try to move forward while their transmission is stuck in reverse.

She certainly has been schooled in all the GOP talking points. She'll do her daddy proud!

How is she at duck hunting?
Did she pay her taxxes?

Hey democrats, U need to recognize that Liz Cheney would be a very fomidable adversary. She has a great grasp on the facts of her argument and can counter-point extremely quickly. She does not sit quietly while the democrat opponent mis-frames the argument. There is NO Trent Lott / Arlen Spector in her DNA. And here's the best part ~ Your standard, typical, name-calling does not fluster her at all. Forget Rush, Mitt, Sarah, and Bristol. Here's where you need to direct your fusillade. Tee It Up.

Let her run. Maybe her smarmy draft dodging daddy will campaign for her.
