DISGUSTING!

Did you honestly expect anything better from a state that voted against your candidate?

Any chance Ryan Greene could defeat the literal Spawn of Satan in the general election?

It's Wyoming.

[JMT]

Any chance Ryan Greene could defeat the literal Spawn of Satan in the general election?

Unfortunately, I don't think so. Pretty safe to say that we can essentially call her "Congresswoman Elect" Liz Cheney

I honestly wouldn't mind giving up this seat for two years (as long as it's not the seat that decides House control of course) in exchange for a decent Republican picking it up in 2018, but given how Barbara Cubin, with her offensive comments against her disabled opponent still hung on in 2006, a Democratic tsunami, with all the anti-Bush sentiment and popular Democratic Gov. Dave Freudenthal on the ticket, I would say no. The state is R+22 or something.

Yeah, the PVI is R+22. No way Cheney loses this race

There's a part of Alaska that actually isn't PST, if memory serves. The media has always cited it as a 1 AM closing. If the presidential primaries are any indication, it's not like Michigan where stuff trickles in with some polls still open.

[SATW]

Glad to see Liz Cheney win her primary. She's not a great candidate or person, but significantly better than Cynthia Lummis (or Barbara Cubin, for that matter...)

[Ronnie]

Oh well.  I hope someone decent primaries her in 2020.

[Vosem]

Meh. My vote would've been for Christensen, but I'm not particularly upset to see Cheney get it, either. Mead is the frontrunner to become the next Senator in the event of Enzi retiring in 2020, correct? While Barrasso is likely to stay for another decade or more.

Mead will be term-limited in 2018, is very popular, much younger than Enzi, and has run for the Senate before, so he should get the seat if Enzi does retire.

Results coming in in Alaska now.
