The health issues that Republican Liz Cheney cited as her reason for dropping out of the Wyoming Senate race has to do with one of her daughters' diagnosis of diabetes, according to ABC News.

In her statement announcing her decision to drop out Cheney cited "serious health issues" that have recently come up in her family. According to Republicans close to the Cheney family, the issue is one of Cheney's daughters had been diagnosed with diabetes. The ABC News report did not specifically name which of Cheney's daughters has diabetes.

ABC News also reported that Cheney made her decision to drop out around the holidays but waited until only recently to inform her top campaign officials.

1. Gee--they made the decision around the holidays, but they still forced the children to make campaign

2. I suspect she knew she was going to lose and used her child as an excuse.

I'm sure if she was up 15pts on Enzi she would stay in the race. She seems to be a ruthless carpetbagger. I don't think this would cause her to drop out.

Now we know what Dick Cheney was, and that might explain why he was the way he was.....

4. That is no excuse. She quit for some other reason and is using this as a lame excuse. n/t
