Yet another reason to find the Enzi/Cheney race fascinating. Tough call here for Maverick. Does he strike a blow for incumbency by backing his pal Mike, even though it means siding with “wacko bird” nemesis, Rand Paul? Or does he strike a blow for interventionism by endorsing the tea-party favorite Cheney? Here’s the answer, via the Corner. McCain endorsing anyone named “Cheney” at this point was a long shot, incumbent opponent or no. He’s been at odds with Dick sporadically for at least 10 years, dating back to the Bush tax cuts, then to the debate over enhanced interrogation, and then to Cheney’s criticism of him after leaving office for his VP pick and his bizarre political strategy during the 2008 financial crisis. (Cheney wasn’t above publicly knocking McCain in the heat of the 2008 presidential campaign either.) Liz Cheney actually took McCain’s side last year after her father called Palin’s VP selection a mistake, a shrewd move for an aspiring Senate candidate planning to run as a tea partier in a red state. That plus super-hawkishness, and still — Maverick’s unambiguously for Enzi here.
Even so, is she better off having McCain on the other side? Maverick might be seen as a respected elder statesman by Wyoming Republicans who don’t follow politics closely even though the national base rants about him daily.

What about.. infinity TIMES infinity?
=brain poof=
Cheney is a carpetbagger.
I don't like incumbents!
McLame and Enzi both have to go.
Hillary Clinton and I share a love for a well-turned heel. Doesn't mean I'd vote for her.

I figured as much. I couldn’t listen to it all. There was a while when I was listening I thought it was Phyllis Schlafly he was talking to. Her voice sounded like Phyllis’ voice for a while there, at least to me, it was a period of time he was heaping praise on her without mentioning she was running for office.
Then I figured out who it was, and then I was trying to connect his favorable comments to who it actually turned out to be. Quite surreal to say the least.
Phyllis Schlafly is a great Conservative IMO. Liz, well, she’s no Schlafly.
Cheney is a carpetbagger.
Yep, just like Hitlery was.
Liz should run in Virginia where she has her primary residence.
When it comes to preventing us from realizing our Conservative goals, he’s quite savvy.
Can’t McLettuce just die already? I mean, come on.

PSSST, Mozilla,
Just a LITTLE HINT.
Don’t just keep hitting SEND. SEND, SEND, SEND.
Take a look at the progress bar on the bottom left of your effing screen.
Notice, it says “SENDING” or something along those lines.
Sheesh, newbies, what a pain.
lol, just messin with you!
Hey, Mozilla, my momma was frightened by a broken record when I was born! But it didn’t affect me any, affect me any, affect me any, affect me any,.....
Mary Cheney is the lesbian. Liz, on the other hand, is happily married to a man, Philip Perry, and has five children.
and that means she opposes Marys lifestyle does it?
If he was savvy he would have been elected.........
hum...makes no sense.
Liz is tough on certain things but is a New World Order pusher just like her dad. She is a defender of anything that insures the success of special interests promoting the New World Order.
Boy did that cost Enzi a lot of votes.
“McCain is right on this one.”
You’ve gotta be sh#ting me......
