"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Hopefully she figured out that the best way to help the cause is to train her sights on the DEMOCRATS!!!!!!!

Health issues: sick from low polling numbers and a lack of big money backers.

OH Noes , say it ain’t so Liz!

Did sister Mary (and her wife) talk you out of it at your holiday dinner?

Hey Dick, Picking your daughter to run for the Senate was a mistake. That one I don’t think was well handled. Based on her background, she’d only been Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs, for what, two years? I don’t think she passed the test.

I think she citing health issues maybe it her father

I think also she can’t raised money

[MikeyB806]

“sickness in her family”

Well, duh, her sister has a mental illness, but she knew that before she decided to run.

Right candidate, wrong state.

Should have been Virginia.

[wyowolf]

Involving her daughter in Colorado... not at liberty to say more... but its not nice.

I hope Lynn and Dick are OK
God Bless them both

I’m surprised it ended this way. I would have expected the Cheney family (Mother included) to have done their homework and been more astute. Do you have enough widespread support before we get this all cranked up. Is the money there? is the bedrock of support there? Are you able to articulate your goals for your constituents? Liz is a daughter of a VP, who is both famous and infamous for his ability to influence the president of that time. Liz might not feel she has to listen to other people’s suggestions. So there may have been stubbornness on her part, and the presumption that she was a favored daughter entitled to her pick of positions. There was also that public, foolish sister fight on Facebook, of all places, which went on too long and pushed Liz completely off message.
