(CBS News) After former Vice President Dick Cheney criticized the choice of Sarah Palin to be John McCain's running mate in 2008, both McCain and the former vice president's daughter, Liz Cheney, publicly came to Palin's defense.


Sunday evening, Liz Cheney - an infrequent Twitter user, wrote on Twitter that Palin is "more qualified" than both President Obama and Vice President Biden.



The family disagreement came after her father, the former vice president, said Sunday on ABC News' "This Week", "I like Gov. Palin. I've met her. I know her. She - an attractive candidate. But based on her background, she'd only been governor for, what, two years. I don't think she passed that test ... of being ready to take over. And I think that was a mistake."
