Liz Cheney Exits WY Race

Liz Cheney, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, has been mounting a challenge to Senator Mike Enzi in the Wyoming Republican primary. The latest word, from CNN, is that Cheney plans to drop out of the race.

Cheney's campaign never gained much momentum as Enzi is a conservative Wyoming Senator who is well liked by the state's Republicans. The only advantages she brought to the table were a famous name and the edge that might give her in getting TV invitations.

On the other hand, Enzi has seniority that she would entirely lack and thus he is in a position to do more to further the state's interests.
