(CNN) - Two-term Texas Gov. Rick Perry has already gotten a re-election nod from Sarah Palin, last year's GOP vice presidential nominee. Now primary rival Kay Bailey Hutchison is snagging the endorsement of the man Palin was running to replace.
The Hutchison campaign confirmed Wednesday that former Vice President Dick Cheney - whose low approval ratings might mark him a political liability in most other parts of the country - is endorsing Hutchison's bid, and will raise money for her in Houston on Nov. 17.
Hutchison, who has said she plans to resign her Senate seat but hasn't yet revealed when that might occur, is planning to challenge Perry in next year's Republican primary.

Who is Dick Cheney? i`ve heard that name somewhere. Oh yea he shoots his hunting buddies.Why would his opinion matter?
guess americans are no more smart, many are suffering from dumbo fever. isn't it clear to you all that cheney is rooting for perry to win? he knows if he sticks like a leach to kay he can suck some blood from her campaign. he knows how much he is hated worldwide and he is using his disadvantage to an advantage in this case.
finally who in their right mind will vote a republican in modern day america? after what we know them to do after they get elected. i am still wandering where americans get there education. for all the years of repubs its been from one war to the other, killing and dealing blood for oil and arms. dying for arab muslim oil sheiks , all they do is pay repubs for mercenaries [our soldiers] and live the rest to cheney.
Ms. Hutchison,
Do you really want an Endorsement from a CRIMINAL.
If CHENEY THE CRIMINAL Endorses you, Ms. Hutchinson, you will lose.
Isn't that just a gang of pitiful poor losers! Bless their hearts!
a Dick Cheney endorsement?? Geesh as much as I don't like Rick Perry and not too crazy about K. Bailey either I thought she might be the less of two evils. But if HE is going to endorse her I might just have to sit home on election day.
Too funny! Anyone that gets an endorsement from Darth Cheney might as well kiss their chances good-bye. This is definitely a "kiss of death." Cheney Family – ZERO CRED. Period.
That ought to kill her campaign. Cheney obviously supports Perry and is trying to use is unpopularity as a weapon.
didn't rick perry give the kiss of death to the father of the three daughters
that were killed in the tragic house fire then stopped the investigation
I always love the moral values of the republican party
Hutchison should have been McCain's VP Nominee. They may have had a fighting chance if they had picked her. I am a Democrat but have up until recently thought she was one of a handful of thoughtful, half decent Republicans. Now though, she seems to be turning into just another Neocon. Too bad.
Luck Kay..................I would say it is the kiss of death!!
That ought to amount to a nail in her coffin anywhere else but Texans might actually like Cheney.
Governor? I thought Texas was run by a pack of gila monsters.
