Liz Cheney: a better alternative

Jonathan Tobin writes about how the GOP old boy network in the Senate is backing three term Senator Mike Enzi, instead of challenger Liz Cheney. I agree with Tobin's summation:

It’s been a while since a Cheney ran for office in Wyoming, so there’s no telling how this will turn out. But whatever happens, the faux outrage about her decision rings false. There’s nothing sacred about keeping a dull three-time incumbent in place when a better alternative is available. The GOP’s old boy network in the Senate as well as its libertarian wing may prefer Enzi, but there’s no reason for Cheney to refrain from trying her luck with the voters.

Note that isolationist libertarian Presidential candidate Rand Paul is one who is supporting Enzi.
