Dick Cheney thinks naming Sarah Palin as VP was a 'mistake'

Considering that Dick Cheney spent two terms as an American vice president, he might know a little bit about what it takes to fill the position, and in an interview with ABC News, Cheney was quite clear that he didn’t think Sarah Palin had what it takes to be America’s second-in-command. "I like Governor Palin," Cheney said, but added, "I don’t think she passed that test … of being ready to take over. And I think that was a mistake." With Mitt Romney currently searching for his own potential veep, Cheney’s unsolicited advice comes at a very pointed moment in the 2012 election cycle. Of course, if speculation is to be believed, Romney staffer Beth Myers may have already tweeted out the campaign’s shortlist for the position – a list that includes Cheney’s fellow Bush administration alum Condoleezza Rice, but not Mrs. Palin.
