Liz Cheney, the former vice president’s daughter and Washington political figure who is challenging incumbent Mike Enzi for a Senate seat from her home state of Wyoming, met with reporters Wednesday for the first time as a candidate. She gave several hints about her plan to convince voters that Enzi does not deserve a shot at a fourth term in the Senate.
“I’m running because I believe it is necessary for a new generation of leaders to step up to the plate,” said Cheney, appearing at a hotel in Casper. “I’m running because I know as a mother and as a patriot that we can no longer afford simply to go along to get along.”
That was a not-so-veiled hit at Enzi’s age — he is 69 to Cheney’s 46 — and his reputation for working with Democrats. To emphasize the point, Cheney, after an extensive indictment of the Obama administration, suggested the worst thing a Republican could do is get along with the White House.
The president is “working to implant his liberal philosophy so deeply into our body politic that we are all going to be dealing with its effects long after he’s gone from office,” Cheney said. “I don’t believe it has to be this way. I know we can get our nation back on track. Instead of cutting deals with the president’s liberal allies, we should be opposing them every step of the way.”
On another occasion, Cheney said, “We’ve got a president who has laid out an agenda that is directly at odds with where most Wyomingites, where most people across the nation with common sense, know where the country should be going. So I think the key is to know when to compromise and when not to.”

She should stay in Virginia and run against a liberal Senator from Virginia.
Not to mention we need more help in the Senate.
No thanks.
Her views on abortion are unclear and she’s pro-homo “marriage.”
And she’s an interventionist just like her father.
She’s a neocon tool, up to her eyeballs in efforts to drag us into another Asian war.
That resume sure doesn’t sound like a good ole country girl from Wyoming who’s just looking to represent her fellow westerners.
Too close to Boulder CO?
There’s already talk of people and companies moving to WY to escape CO.
“She should stay in Virginia and run against a liberal Senator from Virginia.”
But then she’d have to fight for her seat every election.
The State (CO) as a whole has gone rogue.
Then don't pull a Hillary and instead run in a state you live in.
Enzi does not, and has the votes to prove it. Who knows about Cheney?
You’re exactly right.
She isn’t conservative, she worked for Romney, the ultimate rino and the most pro-homosexual agenda republican imaginable.
Liz Cheney agrees with the radical left wing homosexual agenda. She 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.
The case of TinyTom Daschle vs. South Dakota comes to mind. Even John Thune vs. SD doesn't seem to be going well.
Liz would just be ahead of the curve.
I know she's talking crap out of the side of her mouth to get votes and money.
Just as the long list of RINO's "who flimflammed their way into our pockets" have done in the past.
Not the whole state. Denver, Boulder, Pueblo and Trinidad are very blue. I live in El Paso county and it is one of the most conservative counties in the nation. It was the homosexual activists that brought big money from Tim Gill and Jared Polis that statically altered the state. That and a moral failure of leadership from Bill Owens. If Wyoming elects a lesbian sympathizer it will be the next red state with the blues.
Just another ENTITLED PUBBIE. We need a new party: one that voluntarily commits to term limits. We need to focus on state legislatures and start passing constitutional amendments, including term limits and repeal of the 17 Amendment. That’s the only way to clean out the criminal operation known as Washington DC.
e.g.: New state laws, voting for 0bama, US Senators, etc.
Obviously there are many counties way more conservative/Constitutional than Pitkin, Boulder and Denver Counties.
Unfortunately the majority in the State has gone to the dark side.
Maybe after 6 yr of Liz.
