RedStateVT Announces 2010 Cheney Award Winner

RedStateVT announces the winner of the 2010 Cheney Award, our 2nd annual presentation of this honor. The Cheney Award is given annually to the individual who – in our opinion – has done the most to preserve and promote the values of American liberty, strength and exceptionalism. The award honors Vice-President Dick Cheney for his service to and defense of this great country.

Receiving consideration for the 2010 award were Sean Hannity, the Tea Party, Paul Ryan, and Boston journalist and radio show host Howie Carr along with Sarah Palin who was also on last year’s short list. The winner (also a runner-up last year) is Dick Morris.

Morris was a dynamo - writing books, appearing almost nightly on television and blogging relentlessly – all in service of the opposition to the Obama agenda. It seemed at times that he was out to single-handedly defeat Obamacare. Begging, pleading and exhorting the American people to write their Congressmen, make phone calls and send in donations for advertising, he did it all.

At election time, it was Morris who did the heavy lifting, traveling the country and analyzing the local races that the media did not have time for. It was Morris who realized that the Republicans had an extraordinary opportunity to win back the country and slow the socialists in their tracks. And so – as with healthcare – he was relentless in taking on the fight. While some may say that Morris over-promised (control of the Senate and a 100 House seat pick-up) we applaud his zeal and his vision.

RedStateVT is pleased to honor Dick Morris as the 2010 Cheney Award recipient.
