Last week, I spoke with Fox News reporter Judson Berger about the “Draft Cheney 2012″ movement and the role of the former vice president in the GOP. While many Republicans around the country appreciate the leadership Dick Cheney has provided throughout the years, I told Judson that I believed the Veep when he said he had no interest in running.

You can read the full story at this link and here is my quote from the story –

Scott Stanzel, former deputy press secretary to Bush, said Cheney will probably never be convinced to run for president.

“I don’t believe that Dick Cheney has any desire to run for office again and I take him at his word,” Stanzel said, adding that he’s “very influential” in the role he’s already in.

“There are a lot of people out there who feel strongly about his service, but that’s not to say they are advocating for him to run for president,” he said. “I do not think his desire is to define the Republican Party. … He is almost solely focused on defending the policies of the Bush administration.”

Also, POLITICO posed the question in today’s Arena discussion – “Is Obama moving to the center?” They question is based on former Reagan speechwriter Peggy Noonan’s Wall Street Journal piece, “Obama Moves Toward Center Stage.” I recorded a video response for the Arena. As a follow-up to my post, YouTube vs. Facebook – WMV Upload Audio Quality from last week, I recorded today’s video using the Dell Webcam Manager software. The file type that I selected was avi, which created a very large file. I used WinXMedia Video Converter to convert the avi file to mpeg 4. This seems to have solved the audio delay problem on YouTube, but the video quality is pretty diminished. I’ll continue testing.
