I’ve previously explained the DC Ticker I compile most days, which is now being featured weekly on ABC News’ website show, Political Punch, hosted by Jake Tapper. Here are the picks featured on the latest PP:
* John Pistole, sell — More squeezing or less at airport screening? TSA chief John Pistole has been sending conflicting signals.
* Mary Cheney, buy — The ex-veep’s other daughter is making a bid to be a GOP powerbroker, helping to organize a political committee for Maria Cino, a former Bush administration official angling to replace Michael Steele as RNC chair.
* Sarah Palin, buy — Hasn’t she supersaturated the political marketplace yet? Short answer: no. Her new book is out this week, her new TV show is up, and Bristol Palin went much farther on DWTS than could be expected.
* Mike Huckabee, buy — The 2012 presidential wannabe was in Iowa courting social conservatives, just as several Iowan evangelical groups have merged into a single outfit—which could make it easier for Huckabee to rally that crucial Iowa voting bloc.
