Dick Cheney endorsing Kay Bailey Hutchison for Texas governor

Hutchison spokeswoman Jennifer Baker said details were still being worked out, but Cheney is scheduled to campaign with the senator on Nov. 17.

"She is pleased to have Vice President Cheney's support," Baker said. "He knows that she is a true conservative who walks the walk and not just talks the talk, and she will continue to deliver conservative results for Texas as governor."

Cheney's support is the highest profile endorsement Hutchison has gotten so far in her bid to unseat Gov. Rick Perry in the March Republican primary. Support from Cheney, who is popular with many conservative activists, could help Hutchison shore up her right flank.
