Liz Cheney to abandon Senate bid

http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/05/politics/liz-cheney-senate-race/index.html?hpt=hp_t2

Liz Cheney, whose upstart bid to unseat Wyoming Sen. Mike Enzi sparked a round of warfare in the Republican Party and even within her own family, is dropping out of the Senate primary, sources told CNN late Sunday.

Cheney, the eldest daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, began telling associates of her decision over the weekend and could make an official announcement about the race as early as Monday.

Cheney's surprising decision to jump into the race, an announcement made in a YouTube video last summer, roiled Republican politics in the Wyoming, a state Dick Cheney represented in Congress for five terms before moving up the Republican food chain in Washington.

Is it wrong of me to be happy to see the Cheney legacy overwhelmingly rejected - even in a state as conservative as Wyoming? If it is wrong, then I will await my spanking but damn this is good news. She is as mean spirited as her Daddy and even his remaining loyalists couldn't influence or buy her a Senate seat. Woo-Hoo!!

I guess she finally got the point. The voters abhor anything
or anyone related to the corrupt and evil BushCo Regime.
