Did you see this article?
I have mixed feeling on the central theme of the article.
I'm not opposed to tossing out what you might call a mediocre incumbent mostly for the hell of it, no one is entitled to reelection, I agree. But nor would I do it by default.
His sale tax apostasy is a big negative with him (Enzi). But again it's about the only thing anyone can come up with. The New York Times saying he "worked well with Ted Kennedy" is a not a reason to me. Nor is his shying away from the limelight, not everyone is cut out for it and not every legislator needs to be in it. Backbenchers have their place.
I'm fine with trying for an "upgrade" here (though it would be way down on the list, Lamar Alexander, Linseed Graham, Thad Cochran and John Cornyn are incumbents I'd be more motivated to target) but as said I think Cheney's girl is a lateral move at best. I flat out don't trust the family with their embrace of faggotry and Papa Cheney's role in the RINO administrations of Ford and W. Bush.
Billyboy postulates all this hub bub is just a pro-Cheney rather than an anti-Enzi push and I kind of get that sense as well. If it's Cheney V. Enzi I'm strongly inclined to come down on the side of Enzi.
Liz could certainly win, imo.
