Aaron Blake has the news — shortly after Dick Cheney’s former aides began drumming up opposition to Kentucky U.S. Senate candidate Rand Paul, Cheney has now endorsed Paul’s opponent, Trey Grayson. Cheney:
Iām a lifelong conservative, and I can tell the real thing when I see it. I have looked at the records of both candidates in the race, and it is clear to me that Trey Grayson is right on the issues that matter ā both on fiscal responsibility and on national security.
Worth remembering: in the Texas gubernatorial primary, Cheney endorsed Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas) while Sarah Palin endorsed the winner, Gov. Rick Perry (R-Texas). Palin, famously, has endorsed Rand Paul.
