The AP reports:

Former Vice-President Dick Cheney will throw his support behind U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison's campaign for governor.

The Hutchison campaign confirmed Wednesday that Cheney will endorse the Texas Republican's March primary challenge of Gov. Rick Perry at a fundraiser next month.

The whole of the Bush administration seems to be backing Hutchison (Rove, Hughes, now Cheney)...and as Ben Smith says, "for all Cheney's national unpopularity, he's a clear plus in a Republican primary in Texas."
