Plame's ad won't air on regular television but it could help her raise money nationally. In the ad she details how she was illegally outed as a CIA agent during the Bush administration and how Trump pardoned the perpetrator. That case is getting long in the tooth but will still ring bells among hardcore Dems. Her video already had well over a quarter million views on YouTube on the day of release,

Plame would love nothing more than to close this race out early with her national appeal and money, but that's unlikely. Media in the race will be critical, but not necessarily decisive. For example, the deep local roots and national support women's group are giving to Teresa Leger Fernandez is a big hurdle for a newcomer like Plame to jump. Still, her online ad may have her driving backwards and in circles but it shows her campaign is headed in the right direction.

since Liz looks like she will run for the Senate. Polling shows shes the favorite to win the Wyoming Senate nomination.

There are no assigned seats in the House, but Republicans and Democrats traditionally sit on opposite sides of the Speaker's rostrum. So, there's virtually no chance Cheney and Plame would be seated next to each other.

it clear, she has a few scores to settle. Ex-CIA officer v. draft dodger's opinonated loud-mouthed daughter? That would be a sight to see, Valerie intentionally sitting next to Liz. Bwah!
