I’m not privy to Ms Cheney’s plans but if she thinks a Senate race isn’t a tough go, she doesn’t deserve to be a senator....and probably won’t be.
It doesn't get much easier than Wyoming. Solidly Republican state. Winner of the primary is basically the next senator. She figured she could waltz in, force Enzi to retire or drown him in outside money in the primary, and then pack her bags for DC with a safe seat she wouldn't require a lot of attention to the folks back home.
