House conservatives stay away from President Cheney.



From Thinkprogress:

Vice President Cheney, “[o]nce popular enough to charge donors $4,200 for a handshake and a photo,” has become a much less sought-after fundraiser for congressional Republicans, reports the Washington Post. “Almost 10 months into the year, Cheney has headlined one fundraiser for an incumbent House Republican, Rep. Sam Graves (MO),” whereas in 2005, Cheney headlined fundraisers for 10 conservative incumbents. Cheney had a 34 percent approval rating in July.
