Rising Hegemon
Former Vice President Dick Cheney’s daughter Liz Cheney will run against Wyoming’s senior U.S. senator in next year’s Republican primary, her campaign said Tuesday.Not many people in Wyoming were anxious for Cheney to run (after all she doesn't really live there). But she has the "all important" Erick Erickson endorsement.
Cheney, 46, is the elder of Dick Cheney’s two daughters. Her announcement is a political challenge unlike anything Wyoming has seen for years, maybe decades — Republicans in the state rarely challenge incumbents in national office. All three members of the state’s congressional delegation and all statewide elected officials are Republican.
Yet Cheney’s interest in the seat has been an open secret for months. Last year, Cheney and her husband bought a home in the posh northwest Wyoming community of Jackson Hole. She has been in the public eye in recent years as a Fox News political commentator.
She’s also been speaking frequently at Republican Party events in the state.
US Sen. Mike Enzi also announced Tuesday he was planning to seek a fourth term, making clear he was seeking re-election bid more than six months earlier than he has in the past.

My suspicion is that she needs to run while her father is alive to campaign for her and twist arms.
there is gonna be a democrat running to pick up the rite wing overstep, right/ RIGHT?!?
Ms. Fifth Draft Deferment seems to be trying to keep Daddy's hold on government intact.
If I were Enzi, I'd be doing regular sweeps for wiretaps. It's what the Cheneys do.
"Vote for Liz: She's the Cheney who hasn't shot anyone in the face!"
Yet, anyway ...
