Governor? I thought Texas was run by a pack of gila monsters.

That ought to amount to a nail in her coffin anywhere else but Texans might actually like Cheney.

Luck Kay..................I would say it is the kiss of death!!

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.

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

That ought to kill her campaign. Cheney obviously supports Perry and is trying to use is unpopularity as a weapon.

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.

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.

Isn't that just a gang of pitiful poor losers! Bless their hearts!

Ms. Hutchison,

Do you really want an Endorsement from a CRIMINAL.

If CHENEY THE CRIMINAL Endorses you, Ms. Hutchinson, you will lose.

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.

Who is Dick Cheney? i`ve heard that name somewhere. Oh yea he shoots his hunting buddies.Why would his opinion matter?

Wields his unpopularity and infamy like a light saber don't he? He basically just cut off her political hand.

When Hutchinson announced her candidacy, I was happy to see someone going against Perry, who I liked, even though I'm not a Republican. Perry is an idiot and an embarassment to our state. Now, if she wins the primary, I can't in good conscience vote for her either. Any candidate who is endorsed by Dick Cheney will never get my vote. I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in that thinking.

This is a lose/lose situation to say the least. Gov. Perry is an ambarrassment to our state. Kay B. Hutchinson is not much better. An endorsement from Cheney is not a good thing. I am in a situation that most people are in, neither one of these candidates represents my interests. it is a shame, Texas has wonderful people and it is a great place to live.

On what planet is Kay Bailey Hutcheson a liberal? Certainly not this one. What a choice – Perry, who gutted his own forensics science commission when it was about to issue a report demonstrating that Texas may have put an innocent man to death, or Hutchison, who voted against funding sex and AIDS education and federal hate crimes investigation and tracking. Devil or deep blue sea... Neither is fit to lead a state.

If it's "Cheney-approved," then it must be vapid and worthless. Sorry, Cheneys, you've got less than zero cred and nobody cares what you have to say.

Good God! I never was a big fan ok Kay but she in no way deserves this! Given a choice between Governor Goodhair and Kay? OUCH! Kay I would run far and run fast from an endorsement from Satan himself. If you accept it, then you lost my vote.

Well then- Govenor Good Hair, Kay, and now Darth Vadar Cheney. Texas is in great hands.

Maybe Texas should secede.

Well, if the war criminal endorses her I will vote differently now. She did have my vote but with that evil name supporting her it says a lot about her character.

How messed up is Texas when you have Barbie endorsing someone trying to cover up a botched execution and Darth endorsing Kay?

Just what anybody wants. . or needs.

Endorsement from Cheney, like getting tarred and feathered ...

If she becomes Gov. she will waterboard Texans. Be careful!

It looks as if people in Texas can't choose a decent governor. Look at their past record.

A vote of support from Cheney.?!?!? All I can say is ... poor Kay, poor, poor Kay! She's toast ... personally, I don't like the woman. So I guess I should say, " thanks Dick". But then, Perry isn't exactly a prince.

What a choice ... what a choice!

ummmmm...wouldn't that be the nail in the coffin of your campaign?

Well any hope she had for my vote was just lost by Cheney endorsing her. Cheney is a war criminal and should be prosecuted as such!

As a Texan ... I have not forgiven Rick Perry for the attempted theft of land from Texans via the ill-advised Trans-Texas Corridor. (In short ... Texas landowners' land would have been taken via eminent domain and ownership transferred to a Spanish company.)

I also do NOT like the RINO (Republican In Name Only) Hutchison in ANY way, shape or form!

Sigh.

Can I, at least, have Scooby Doo as a write in candidate???

(With apologies for the mis-spelling!)

an endorsement from Satan's favorite American, that's a real winning strategy. And why is a retired, irrelevant, coward from Wyoming getting involved in Texas politics?

That should get her the Sith vote. Have a nice day!

That's the godfather's kiss of death for her. Even in Texas.

No - wait a minute - they all like the wars and fighting, etc. Maybe she can win. Maybe they'll secede and save the US a whole heck of a lot in insurance for illegals going to ERs. Hopefully (maybe Alaska will secede too and save us even more).

The whole thing sounds like a lose-lose situation for the people of Texas.

Ohh that's a endorsement that is worth something!!

you can't make one out of the two!

Perry/Palin = Seccessionists

Hutchinson/Cheney = The Evil Empire

How could anyone endorse her? She's all kinds of out of control!!!! She's not even using a "speaking fist" in that photo like all good politicians are supposed to!!! Someone get this woman her meds!

Not the kind of endorsement I would want.

Cheney gave her the "kiss of Death". But what you would expect for a Right wing rubber stamp.

Cool one snake endorsing another,

so what.

I would think Cheney's endorsement would be the kiss of death to a politcian. But maybe in Texas....

Thanks, now I know who not to vote for.

Yikes ... the kiss of death ... Chaney and Palin nods ... start looking for a new job Kay!

When Cheney endorses you thats, the end of your political career!

I really am having a hard time believing this. Cheney, a staunch conservative, endorsing the liberal in republican clothes Hutchinson? As much as I don't like Rick (with a capital P), I certainly would not vote for anyone that is liberal!!

An endorsement from Darth Vader. Gee, now if she can get Jabba the Hut to endorse her that should be enough to put Perry back in the Governors mansion.

kay will win and will be a great gov.

This part of the country is where the population share the same DNA.

Whoa, if she is running in the same circles as Dick Cheney, then the people of Texas better stay as far away from her as possible.

Alright, this is one time I wish Cheney would shut up.

all the more reason to vote for Perry. we've had enough big gov't republicans like cheney and hutchinson.

Rick Perry is a stupid hick and out of his league! Texas has enough knuckle-dragging hicks.

It is time Texas add some "wisdom and smarts" to the state leadership chair, something that has been lacking under Rick Perry.

It's a lose-lose situation however you look at it.

She is best for Texas. Perry is just another little Bush. Worthless.

Former Vice President Cheney is polling pretty high since he started disputing some of the lies put out by nobama. Vice President Cheney has offered written proof and all nobama can do is talk when he has time between his apology tours.

if cheney likes her, quite clearly she must be good in a dark-hearted way. maybe she can get texas to find WMDs in mexico and start another profitable war, or make it illegal to build solar panels.

If Cheney thinks it is good, than it can only be bad. Go and vote – but do you really need Cheney’s advice????

What on earth are liberals/Dems/progressives going to do next week when NJ and VA pick Republicans for Governor? When Palin's NY pick wins?

Will they realize that last year wasn't so much FOR Obama as Against Bush? LIke after Nixon, there was no way a Republican was going to win. And I think McCain knew that and picked Sarah Palin because he saw her as a possible future leader for the party.

My 2 cents.

Gee....I'm a liberal Democrat from New York....and in light of Cheney's endorsement..... I'm actually inclined to shoot some money to the Rick Perry campaign!

Kiss of death from Darth!
