Lynne Cheney ‘Won’t Deny’ Her Senate Candidacy

cheneycheney2.jpg Recently, Lynne Cheney, the wife of Vice President Dick Cheney, has been “floated in Senate GOP leadership circles as a possible replacement” to the late Sen. Craig Thomas (R-WY), who recently passed away. Today, multiple sources are reporting that Cheney’s office is refusing to return messages and deny her candidacy. The Casper Star Tribune reports:

A lot of Republicans — maybe 20, maybe more — want to replace the late Craig Thomas in the U.S. Senate, State GOP Chairman Fred Parady said Monday.

Applicants already include recently resigned Wyoming U.S. Attorney Matt Mead, state Rep. Colin Simpson of Cody, state Sen. John Barrasso of Casper, and former state GOP Chairman Tom Sansonetti of Cheyenne. (…)

A spokesperson for Lynne Cheney, wife of the vice president, would not deny that she, too, was a candidate for the U.S. Senate seat, according to The Associated Press.

The deadline to file applications is Thursday at 5:00, and on Friday, all the contenders will be disclosed. The candidates will attend a forum on Sunday at Casper College, and then the state Republican Central Committee will choose three names to pass along to Gov. David Freudenthal (D). By law, the seat will remain in Republican control.

1. Fat chance in Hell -- Dem Gov. gets to pick

from a list of 3 Repugs. I do not see the Dem Gov picking Cheney

[youngdem]

2. For someone who hates Hillary, she sure is trying to be her pretty hard

That bitch doesn't have a shot in hell.

[Bucky]

10. Maybe she just wants to be Elizabeth Hanford Dole

But Mrs Cheney doesn't quite reach this benchmark either.

[fooj]

3. These f*ckers never go away, do they?

As if it's not bad enough already...
:argh:

[David__77]

Ugh...

Freudenthal shouldn't pick her. She's a convinced fascist of the highest degree.

[shain from kane]

4. The book tour for "Sisters" is now within her grasp.

5. I agree....the democratic governor gets to pick.

Even tho he has to pick a republican he sure won't pick her. Now that's not saying she won't run in the future.

But how can she....after all her and the boss live in Maryland in the mansion they just purchased. Is she going to separate from Dick the Dick to run for office.

6. Alas, Wyoming is one of a handful of states that would

elect such a total shitbag.

We the voters have to make damned sure in 2008 that she remains on the powerless side of the aisle.

[Hawkeye-X]

7. Think about it this way - they will have to PICK *two* Democratic senators

next year! (Thomas' seat is up for special election in '08 as well as Enzi's)

[Pyrzqxgl]

11. I would think the Dem governor would pick a Repug easy to defeat.

Now if it were me Cheny would be an obvious pick as she'd be easy to beat, but
those Wyoming folks are batshit crazy and they'd probably reelect her.

[Tom Joad]

8. i think Craig Thomas is now doing just fine, and does not need to be replaced

He is not saying stupid things, not supporting stupid wars, not saying anything in support of idiot Bush.

[Bjornsdotter]

9. You are so bad

:spank:

:rofl:

[Bake]

13. What's that saying about "the only good Republican ..."?

Now Thomas is a good Republican ... I'm jus' sayin' ....

Bake

12. Dear God no

Just no.

[Bluebear]

14. Lynne Cheney is tawdry, NOT a good person. nt
