Liz Cheney challenges Wyoming GOP Sen. Mike Enzi

Former Vice President Dick Cheney's daughter Liz Cheney says she will run against Wyoming Sen. Mike Enzi in a rare Republican primary challenge. Meanwhile, Enzi on Tuesday announced his bid for a fourth term. He made the announcement more than six months earlier in the political cycle than he has in the past. Enzi said he would continue to "do the job I was already elected to do." The 46-year-old Cheney is the elder of the two Cheney daughters. Married with five children, she was a resident of Virginia until recently. She and her husband bought a home last year in the posh northwest Wyoming community of Jackson Hole. In a statement, Cheney said she is running because "we can no longer afford simply to go along to get along."
