"She and former moderate Rep. Steve LaTourette (R-Ohio) are banding together to protect the party’s centrist members.

LaTourette said in an interview Monday that their group will be taking a close look at the Wyoming race. Other Senate GOP candidates he said they are looking to protect are Sen. Susan Collins in Maine and Rep. Shelley Moore Capito in West Virginia."

Whatever you may think of Cheney, just take a look at the people coming out to protect Mike Enzi. God forbid an established senator gets challenged for reelection. That just shouldn't happen, is Olympia Snowe's view. Senators, apparently, are supposed to remain unchallenged until they decide to retire or are removed by a democrat.

Whenever I want clarity in Republican politics, I turn to Olympia Snowe. (s)

Olympia Snowe is Nancy Pelosi without the charisma.

THIS! (I was going to make this very point, but you had already done so very well....which to me is even more important than the moderate-conservative angle....)

Which is another way of saying the challenge is fortunate.

Personally, I don’t think Enzi is that bad. But seeing who is protecting him just makes me more and more leery. Whenever I hear the word “centrist”, I want to barf.

Every incumbent should have a serious primary challenger, if only to remind them that they are there to reflect OUR views and do what is best for us, THE TAXPAYERS!

RINOs should be challenged and REMOVED.(That means YOU Juan McLame, Lindsey, Isaksonofabitch, Rubio, Ryan ...)

The only thing worse than having the support of Snowe, would be having the support of obama.

It is really quite rare that I agree with Olympia.

Seems kind of odd that the moderates are protecting Enzi over open borders pro gay marriage Cheney.

Its almost as if they’re trying some kind of reverse psychology.

Whoever has the support of Olympia Snowe should be replaced ASAP.

given that Enzi travels home often and reflects his constituents’ conservative beliefs

Olympia Snowe wouldn't recognize a conservative belief if it walked up and bit her on the arse.

what is really unfortunate is how many stupid people there are in Maine, they continually send this dipstick back to DC.

Unless it's an Arkansas thing, where the bulk of people elect Clinton just to get them away from the state.

Olympia Snow is the MOTHER of Obamacare. Her vote brought it out of committee. ‘Nuff said?

The last thing we need though, is to make the female voice of the GOP a vocal pro-homosexual agenda pusher to counter the conservative females, I think that this is more of a set up.

LIZ Cheney wanted DADT ended and rejoiced when it was, she was against DOMA, is against a constitutional amendment to save marriage, and supports gay marriage, and supports the State department move to the gay agenda.

Liz Cheney has not made a case for her challenge to Mike Enzi in a Wyoming Republican primary next year, former Sen. Olympia Snowe told POLITICO.

Talk about an entitlement mentality!

How about, she thinks she can do a better job? That's all the case she needs to make.
