the author does nail it pretty good at the end:

The Republicans could do worse in 2012. And probably will.

The dems are feeling pretty good these days. Wait til they find out that all those people that voted for Obama did so because it was “cool”. Now that the excitement is over and “change” is afoot, voting is for squares. Look at the California budget vote yesterday—how many Suzy Creamcheese Obama voters showed up? Yeah, somewhere between zero and none.

He has a few issues I am uncertain about, but, if he got the nomination, I would not only vote Republican, I would claim to be a member of the party again.

Yup, Ms Creamcheese stayed home, I mean cmon, nothin dreamy at all about those props.

Only the truly motivated came out to vote and the majority of those were Tea Partygoers.

People were sick and tired of Bush & Co last year. Just bone-weary. Cheney was a large part of that.

Without regard to his qualifications, anyone who thinks Cheney could be elected in 2012 is fooling themselves.

Oh my God! the leader of our party (in this person’s eyes) is WHITE???!!! How could we let that happen!

I stopped reading after that.

I guess a liberal’s idea of “getting past race” is substituting one kind of racism for another. Didn’t Anne Counter remark that Democrats were for racial queality for about fifteen minutes somewhere around 1969? they have not been before or since.

On the contrary, if Cheney keeps this up, he will be a shoe-in for the nomination, if he chose to run (which is unlikely). And unlike Bush, Cheney defends himself with stiff uppercuts and deadly choke holds on his opponents.

America loves a fighter.

And the definition of “white and bitter?” Why, anyone who does not bend over deeply for the democrat party/NY Times/AFL-CIO and Homosexuals-R-Us.

Love that “mommy party” / “daddy party” analogy.

My MSNBC watching Randi Rhodes listening sister recently came unglued on our mother one day telling her “You can’t believe the evil that Bush and Cheney have done” and she believes Obama is there to fix it. She thinks we killed over 1 million innocents in Iraq all for the profit of Cheney and their rich friends.

Seriously.

This is what we have to overcome.

If John F. Kennedy (the former, pre-Obama, Real Patron Saint Of The Leftists) was alive and running for office today he would be labeled a Sexist, Capitalistic, War Mongering, Right Wing Extremist by democrats and other socialists.

It’s actually a fairly good article on Cheney, compared to most in the MSM.

Dick Cheney is 68, white and bitter.

And unlike any RAT politician, just gave > 75% of his income to charity.

Yeah, that's a bitter heart for ya.

RE :”He’s (Cheney) tanned, he’s rested and his approval ratings can only go up.

LOL. This is certainly true (he's at 10%) and Obama has no place to go but down too, problem is it's along way for both. Cheney is pro-same sex marraige rights. The Hannity/Levin invasion bots ignore this. .

What's with the nutty Bush-Cheney posts today anyway. ?

Not so! They were sick of Bush. Chaney has always been popular with conservatives.
