Rand Paul is formally endorsing Sen. Mike Enzi as he faces Liz Cheney in a Wyoming GOP primary next year, Paul told POLITICO in an interview Wednesday.
“I’ve told him I’ll do anything I can to help him,” the Kentucky GOP senator said. “In fact, somebody asked me today if they could use my name, and I said I’d be happy to sign on and do a fundraiser for him.”
Paul said he isn’t sure why Cheney decided to challenge Enzi, but said she might end up picking up some grudges for doing so.
“I don’t think it probably will be helpful in the long run. I’m pretty sure Senator Enzi will be able to hold off against any primary challenge,” Paul said. “In doing so there will be some people that won’t be so happy with the primary challenge, that might bear grudges.” Cheney, 46, is the daughter of former vice president Dick Cheney and launched her campaign Tuesday with a video calling for a “new generation of leaders to step up to the plate.”
Although she has deep pockets, her lack of deep roots in the state might hurt her. Cheney spent time in Wyoming as a child, but hasn’t spent much time there since. She moved her family from Virginia to Jackson Hole last year.
Paul said it will be difficult for “someone new” to the state to create the same type of deep personal relationship Enzi has.
“Mike Enzi has probably been to every town in Wyoming.
He’s the kind of guy who spends the time to get to know people in a town of 600 people, he’s been there,” Paul said.

Yep-
Bush and Cheney are part of the New World Order network. And they knew all about Obama and could have quietly seen that he never made it past the primaries. They had all the intelligence on him and knew he is an avowed enemy of the United States.
Earlier this week GHW Bush went to the White House wearing his clown socks and kissed up to the evil bastard who’s doing all he can to destroy this country. It’s beyond disgusting.
Mostly west, a little north of Jackson proper.
Wilson is at the base of the Teton pass.
The NRSCC always goes for the incumbents. It’s their mission, after all.
That's the way I remembered it. I looked at the map and see that Jackson is farther south than I thought (I had it more on the same latitude of Teton Village - "Jackson Hole" to me) and that the road out of town really doesn't go due south.
Anyway, I was (sadly) surprised to see that Teton County went for Bammy in 2012 (when I looked it up a few months ago.)
Hence why Teton County (which is basically Jackson and the surrounding area) is hated by the rest of Wyoming.
They’re a infestation of people who don’t think, act, or like the rest of the people in Wyoming. They are to Wyoming what Sun Valley is to Idaho.
This is why Liz Cheney moving to the Jackson area is NOT a “plus” for her in Wyoming retail politics. She could have bought a nice house (or ranch/ranchette) anywhere else in the state without suffering that stigma. Instead, she chose to plop her pampered little buttocks down in the Jackson area.
That alone tells Wyomingites a whole lot about Liz Cheney.
