Liz Cheney Perry-No Sarah Palin

Editorial

Will Liz Cheney Perry, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, head the next Republican National tickets in 2012 and/or 2016? Quite possibly.

By any measure Liz Cheney is well qualified to run for President-bright, attractive, educated, experienced.

     • Law degree from University of Chicago.

     • High level executive positions both within and outside government.

     • Family legacy and name recognition.

     • Money.

Democratic candidates both now and in 2012 take heed? Study Liz Cheney.  Even if she does not run for President, at the very least, Liz will author talking points for talk radio and Republican elites.

Liz Cheney is equally skilled in taking advantage of a 10 second sound bite, 30 minute news interview, or, as I predict, a Key Note Address, or Victory Speech at a National Convention.

For all of her strengths, Liz Cheney's has vulnerabilities.

     • She supports dad's disastrous, possibly criminal, foreign policies.

     • As far as I know, she has never held an elected office, seeking instead        opportunities of privilege

     • She makes references to Democratic liberal elitists, ignoring the fact that the legacy she enjoys is as elitist as it gets.

     • No Sarah Palin, having had executive positions in several international positions, she knows very well where Moscow is located.

     • The journalist who dares ask Cheney about her reading habits will be chagrined and dismissed with a volleyed response.

Pundits and comedians beware. You have exhausted the low hanging fruit of Sarah Palin jokes. You will have to stretch much higher for Liz Perry Cheney.
