Here's how The Huffington Post summed up the Cheney factor:
A National Journal poll of top GOP political insiders and strategists finds that Republicans believe former Vice President Dick Cheney has hurt the party since leaving office.
Of 100 insiders polled, fully 57 percent believe Cheney has hurt the party, and only 33 percent believe he has helped. The poll also includes quotes from unnamed insiders.
Anything that reminds the public of the Bush administration harms the party's ability to turn the page. If he'd had any concern for his public image when he was in office, he wouldn't have to worry as much about defending his reputation now.
Some quotes from the poll:"There is nothing Dick Cheney can say or do to help the Republican Party today. The best thing he can do is disappear for the next 10 years."
"Let's face it: The guy doesn't know anything about winning elections outside of Wyoming."

Cheney's ubiquity on the airwaves these days is increasing the probability that Obama won't be able to close the door on torture investigations of the top of the Bush administration.
I say to Cheney, keep digging. Nothing I'd like better.
Thanks for this great information
thanks ,,
