Former Vice President Dick Cheney may have left office overwhelmingly unpopular with the country at large, but he’s headed back on the campaign trail — to endorse Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) in her campaign for governor, challenging incumbent Gov. Rick Perry in the Republican primary.
Cheney is scheduled to attend a Hutchison fundraiser on November 17, an environment of Texas Republicans where he’s probably still more popular than not.
In terms of endorsements, each candidate has a big GOP name in their corner. Cheney is for Hutchison, while Perry has previously been endorsed by Sarah Palin.
