-- everybody -- Sarah Palin has become a very controversial figure in America but four years ago few knew her she was a governor of Alaska but had no national profile.

Then John McCain chose her as his running mate in hindsight former Vice President Dick Cheney says I was not a good choice.

I like.

Governor Palin.

A matter -- north.

She's attractive candidate but based on her background should only been governor for a -- two years.

I don't think she passed that test we're getting ready -- and ready to take over.

And done I think that was so on the.

Steak and it's well mr.

Cheney has certainly stirred up some controversy his own daughter Liz to we did quote.

Rarely do I disagree with the best vice president ever but Sarah Palin is more qualified than Obama and Biden combined huge respect for all she's done for the Republican part.

And McDonnell may obviously.

Help the cause there for mr.

-- Finally Ohio senator Rockport another veteran political guy and another vital state.

He has national experience and a variety of jobs but like governor McDonnell not very flashy.

But if Mitt Romney is to win the presidency he hacks to take Ohio has -- -- boys -- senator rubio.
