Liz Cheney open to political run

The daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney said Monday that running for political office is on her horizon.
"It's something I very well may do," said Elizabeth "Liz" Cheney, a lawyer and State Department appointee who has worked on two Republican presidential campaigns.
Ms. Cheney, 44, has emerged as one of the strongest defenders of the effectiveness and legality of Bush-Cheney policies on enhanced interrogation methods. More recently, she and her father have become two of the most outspoken critics of President Obama's position on terrorism and other national security issues, which has led Republicans to consider her a strong candidate for national political office.
Ms. Cheney told The Washington Times America's Morning News that recent new reports that her father ordered the CIA to hide information from Congress and that a government probe could follow appears like political cover for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats who have accused agency Director Leon Panetta of lying.
"It gets more and more appalling everyday," she said. "I think they're very worried about Speaker Pelosi."

While I’d love to see it, I don’t think America’s ready to vote for a two-woman ticket. It would make my heart glad, though, to see both of these great conservative women on the national political stage at the same time. Maybe a president Sarah could appoint Liz to an important cabinet position...secretary of state perhaps?
She’s terrific, personable and articulate and obviously the product of two really, really smart people.
I think she can split the two. She will not advocate gay rights but she won’t bash them either. Mary has always said she did not want to be in the limelight and it seems as though she has been truthful. Mary probably is a pretty conservative person too.
Not slighting her intelligence, which is vast, but does anyone else think Eliz Cheney is a very attractive lady? She does it for me.
Compared to ?....Pelosi? Hillary?? Boxer??? Sheila Jackson-Lee????
Why do you even ask that question?
I asked it because I felt like asking it. And compared to ‘no one’. Answer my posts in a correct and proper way or don’t reply to them at all.
No she wouldn't. :)
That would cut out about 97.314% of all FR posts.
No kidding!
I think that gets the Arrogant Response of the Week award. LOL
Ask stupid questions, expect stupid responses.
I kid you not, if she were single and we met I am 100% we would hit it off.
I see I’m not the only one LOL!
It wasn’t a stupid question. I just like pretty ladies. Sorry that you are offended by them.
I generally don’t hold back with my opinions. LMAO
So you are a lesbain, too? Not that there's anything wrong with it.
Meant to include you in my post #50. Sorry.
I can't stand any more! This has made my day!!!!
And it's only Monday. Unnngh.
