Liz Cheney is ending her campaign to be the next senator from Wyoming, dropping her primary challenge to Republican incumbent Mike Enzi.
The daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, in a written statement released Monday morning, cited health issues in the family.
"Serious health issues have recently arisen in our family, and under the circumstances, I have decided to discontinue my campaign," she said. "My children and their futures were the motivation for our campaign and their health and well-being will always be my overriding priority. ... Though this campaign stops today, my commitment to keep fighting with you and your families for the fundamental values that have made this nation and Wyoming great will never stop."

One of my first few thoughts, too.
That and probably more issues, as she’s a social liberal.
I like Liz but the polls were just not in her favor. Getting out now is smart. She can run again later.
She BETTER run against a DEMOCRAT next time. Whoever advised her WANTED her to run against a Republican......STUPID, especially since she MOVED to do it and nit stay in VA to run against Warner.

Agreed. What she did was a big mistake.
