She'd probably start out as the underdog, judging from this report. Believe only if seen, obviously.

Why would Enzi need to be primaried?  He's been loyal enough to his party, hasn't he?

Simply because she wants the seat. She'd lose because as you said, Enzi hasn't broken with the GOP right on anything major and at any rate the TP almost certainly wouldn't exert themselves for a Cheney.

A Cheney versus an old neocon who should have retired last cycle.

*sigh* Politics in Wyoming for you.

It would make a Wyoming race interesting though, so why not?

She is the lesbian I suppose? Yes to more gay power in the Congress. Tongue Although I would never support a Republican (over a Democrat).

If you consider Dick Cheney a woman, sure.

Liz Cheney probably doesn't like boats either. That's why she's running in a state that's landlocked.

One on hand, she supports gay marriage and would be the 4th Senate Republican to do so.

On the other hand, she'd probably run on the promise of bombing Iran.

Enzi's compromised enough times for him to be vulnerable in a primary.

Very little if I remember correctly.

I remember reading that one of the big reasons Freudenthal was elected was because Cheney campaigned hard for his opponent to the point where everyone who hated Cheney voted Democrat.

From what I heard, there is a kind of large libertarian faction of the Wyoming Republican Party, and those guys I guess were repelled by Cheney. Makes sense if thats true.

Go run in California where you could maybe win a seat at some point in life. It's not like she's the native daughter. Why do we need to waste GOP donors on a pointless primary?

Even that would still require a skilled Democratic candidate, and I don't believe there is one left (And no, Freudenthal will never run).

NRSC is obviously backing Enzi as the incumbent, Erickson's backing Cheney.
