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's not a homosexual and she's not a Communist. She's a solid conservative. Go, Liz!
“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.
She’d have to prove herself.
Put the hurt on him Liz. We need real conservatives who are not interested in compromising with the Marxists.
Liz, give us specifics. Where do you stand on specific issues? Give us details, not “a new beginning”, “fresh start”, “principled leadership”, and similar blather.
Cannot be any worse than Marco....the guy they have now has to go...,we need term limits..the longer they stay the worst they become..
You don't think so?
Liz has already started to compromise and modify her positions—and she isn’t even elected yet.
Apparently no one runs to primmary an incumbent even though their is no hope the incumbent will change known behavior (see Hatch and Juan).
Sounds like code words to go all Juan Jr.
WY should better than these 2
I concur.
She’ll be a much better Senator than Enzi.
I don’t know much about Enzi, being in Maryland, but she sounds good to me.
We sure don’t need republican Senators who forget that they are Republicans
Pretty sure all she has are soundbites. I think she just plays a conservative on TV.
...I’d like to know how she feels about the homosexual lifestyle.

She is all for it, as is Dick Cheney.
Indeed. That's why I support Senator Enzi and not Liz Cheney. She was the one applauding the left for repealing Don't Ask Don't Tell, while Senator Enzi stood firm and opposed caving to the gaystapo.
other daughter
Does she have any actual qualifications for office other than her name? Any management or business experience?
Thanks for posting the bio. I don’t think I could really get behind anyone who’d spend significant time at the state department, among other things.
