Movement forming to draft Cheney in 2012.
Mr. Barron appears deadly serious about drafting Cheney to run in '12, despite the fact that the former VP and his four heart attacks publicly stated he will not run. "We know that Dick Cheney doesn't want to run for president," said Barron in a recent interview. "This is about convincing the former vice president that we need him to run. And I think there is only one man who is capable of bringing the entire Republican coalition together and speaking with clarity about the values that have made our party great. And that is Vice President Cheney."
Not a big one yet, but the existence of such a movement goes to show you just how bad the Republican position is. The 2012 campaign season really begins soon, and back room planning should have already begun. The Republicans don't even have a list of credible people, known or unknown, that might run.
