Related: About this forumDick Cheney: Sarah Palin Pick 'A Mistake' - video link
VIDEO here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/29/dick-cheney-sarah-palin_n_1716078.html
Former Vice President Dick Cheney criticized Sen. John McCain's 2008 decision to choose Sarah Palin as his running mate, saying Palin was not prepared to take over the presidency.
"That one I don't think was well handled," Cheney said. "The test to get on that small list has to be, Is this person capable of being president of the United States?"
Cheney's comments came in an interview with ABC, a segment of which aired Sunday morning. The full interview will run Sunday evening.
Cheney said that while considerations like a person's background, gender or ethnicity are "important," they should never "override" the question of whether a vice president would be capable of running the country.

Oh, this is going to be fun. Wonder how long it will take before Palin responds

We're supposed to view Romney's remarks as being presidentially strong on defense.
PNAC 2.0 is bidding for Romney's VP position. Palin's erstwhile fan-club, American Exceptionalists in "our" House of "Representatives" need some red-meat for their BushKochChurchCoC war profiteers and End Timer$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
