Palin - Cheney
BTW, if Democrats want to talk about Sarah Palin, I would suggest they make the comparison of her to Dick Cheney:
Dick Cheney was a surprise selection - one might argue a "mavericky" pick - for VP by Bush.
The public didn't really know that much about Dick Cheney despite his public visibility in positions held prior to 2000.
The news media really didn't question the Cheney selection, or his stands on anything during that campaign outside of the one Edwards-Cheney debate.
Cheney made a LOT of policy during the last 8 years.
The public doesn't like Cheney according to the polls.
Shouldn't the press have asked a lot of questions then?

That's my contribution.
Even Fox News would have a hard time just brushing this aside, knowing that a majority of republicans don't like Cheney all that much (he grew the powers of the prez and vice-prez orders of magnitude beyond any administration before him, def a non-conservative move, there). Given how forceful and mouthpiece-of-the-republican-campaign she's become, raising the spectre of increased government in the form of a Cheney comparison would turn this race into a fish-in-barrel shooting contest.
