Strategically anyway. She's got some brand recognition and no other GOPer does, save for Palin.

Some on DU had already guessed that this is what the Cheney fundraiser was about. It would certainly be a bold move and would get the talking heads talking about that instead of the taxes. (at least for a while)

But I don't think Rmoney wants someone who would overshadow him. (of course, almost anyone would overshadow the mittens._

It might bring the teabaggers back to Mitt. The mormon and the devil daughter ticket.

There is an angle they can use, namely that they are among the few GOP to come out for gay Marriage. Now, few gays would be crazy enough to vote for a MORMON BISHOP to see LGBT policy enacted, but Liz can act like she can get a few victories.

or I should say "smiles"

They say we all get the face we deserve as we get older. Cheney certainly proved that to be true. Of course, he was always creepy looking.

No one in their right mind, even in the republican party, would suggest a VP nominee who's never held any kind of office whatsoever.

Ed must have had some empty air to fill...

I know Sarah held office, but she is a real dummy. Best and brightest went out the window with W.

his daughter is VP material even though she's never held an elected office in her life? And that he'd push that on the gooper machine?

Yeah, I can't see that happening.

She smears real good, and can fudge her taxes with daddy's help. What better person to help Rmoney with this tax issue. It wouldn't surprise me. No other Repuke choice really wants to go down this sinking ship.

Then we can have another Bush/Cheney ticket for 2012
