SD Dems to make pre-emptive strike against Thune VP nod

Category: John Thune

By Denise Ross

This is a move I haven’t seen before. SD Dem Party Chairman Jack Billion is going to tell reporters why John Thune as McCain’s VP pick would be like having Dick Cheney all over again.

This from my e-mail box this morning:

Wednesday, August 13, at 12:30 p.m. CDT (1:30 p.m. EDT), South Dakota
Democratic Party Chair Jack Billion will hold a conference call with members
of the media to highlight various aspects of Senator John Thune’s record
that would mean more of the same Bush-Cheney policies if he is chosen as the
vice-presidential nominee.

The call comes in conjunction with the rollout of a new website,
www.thenextcheney.com, which features Thune and other potential candidates for vice president. 

The site features “other potential candidates for vice president”? Hmmm. So anybody would be the next Cheney? I guess we’ll have to hear what gets said. Stay tuned.

    I would call him the next Dan Quayle. Calling him Dick Cheney implies that Thune may be an evil genius. We know he’s no genius.
