Outgoing Rep. Barbara Cubin (R-WY) has garnered much criticism in her time as Wyoming’s vote in the U.S. House over not voting. That criticism came to a climax this year when she managed to lead the living membership of the not voting caucus.

Christopher Adamo opines:
Despite the fact that (Gov.-Elect) Jindal’s approach proved overwhelmingly effective, the party insiders refuse to be dissuaded from their unworkable “strategy,” which involves the perverted version of Reagan’s “Big Tent” that pretends to stand for everything, while hoping the base does not realize that it actually stands for nothing. And it promises to be every bit the guaranteed loser during this election cycle that it ever has been.
Check out what the Wyoming columnist has to say here.

Wyoming Republicans can expect a full ballot come next August. Sen. Barrasso must pass the nomination process of the primary, though no one at this point has announced contending for the seat he is filling. Sen. Enzi is also expected to run (at this point, unopposed) for reelection.
Add to that closure of one speculation and the opening of another. Continue Reading »

Sometimes I really wish some elected officials would just not say anything. I really try to let people have their opinions. I might disagree with them on moral, philosophical, political, or preferential reasons, but, hey, by all means, have your opinion. Even if I believe you’re wrong, I’ll try to convince you I’m right. Now, when we start talking about legislators and congresspeople, well, that’s a whole nother can of worms, and some of them are worms.

Yesterday was election day. Being an off-year election, I figured those that knew about it would get out and vote, and those that didn’t would just make a mess of everything if they did, so I didn’t post about it.

In Case you missed it, Rep. Cubin has another official challenger:
Retired naval officer Bill Winney of Sublette County says he plans to seek the Republican Party nomination for Cubin’s seat. Cubin last year received 60 percent of the primary vote to beat Winney in the Republican Party primary.
Other Republicans who have announced that they intend to challenge Cubin in the primary include Cheyenne substitute teacher Swede Nelson and Casper businessman Kenn Gilchrist. State Rep. Colin Simpson of Cody has said that he intends to run against Cubin.
Democrat Gary Trauner of Wilson also recently announced he intends to run for the seat again. Cubin beat him by a narrow margin in last year’s general election.
And in case you forgot (as the CST seems to have done so), Albert “Big Al” Hamburg is running in opposition to Gary Trauner in the Democrat primary. For more CST forgetfulness clarification, let’s take another look at Kenn Gilchrist. Every story that mentions him says he’s running in the Republican primary, but let’s go to the early days of his campaign, as reported by the Casper Star-Tribune:
Casper Republican Kenn Gilchrist announced to the Casper Journal in March that he is running for the seat in 2008.
Gilchrist, a 60-year-old University of Wyoming graduate and Vietnam veteran, is not active in the Republican Party and will run an independent campaign, the paper reported. He said he will hold town meetings around the state.
OK, independent it is. Maybe the CST should search their archives.

OK, in about a year, we’ll be voting on our next President of the United States (technicality: we’ll be voting on electors that have committed to voting for a particular candidate). A couple months prior to that, is the awaited national conventions of the major parties where the respective nominations are finalized.
Over on the Democrat side, things are finally getting interesting because the guys are figuring out how to at least take a jab at the girl once in a while. Even funnier is the girl whining because the guys are hitting on her (not that kind of hitting on), but then stating that she’s tough and can take it. Maybe she won’t be the nominee after all, though with her negative rating, I would sure love to see her be anointed in Denver. Continue Reading »
