Recently several right-wing writers at publications like the New York Times, U.S. News and World Report and the Wall Street Journal have floated the idea of former veep Dick Cheney running for president. If they are really serious about this idea, it just shows how out of touch with reality the GOP is.
I know things are desperate, but when you start reaching back to the genius behind the last eight years of disasterous policies, you have officially lost it. But recently everyone from Sarah Palin to Glenn Beck has been named as a potential 2012 candidate.
Whoever the Republicans run for president needs to have broad-based appeal that can bring in independents and even conservative Dems, and Cheney is not that person. He has a whole army of fresh skeletons in his closet, that he really does not want the press digging into. Maybe this time they can ask him about his health.
