This election cycle has been quite interesting. We could even go back to the 2006 elections and make it even more interesting.

Yesterday the news of the passing of conservative commentator William F. Buckley, Jr. broke.

Wyoming’s Senior Senator has offered a resolution in the U.S. Senate honoring the cowboy. For the past three years, the late Sen. Craig Thomas (R-WY) offered the National Day of the American Cowboy resolution for a day honoring the cowboy to coincide with Cheyenne Frontier Days.

On last year’s Cowboy Day, Senator Enzi and then newly-appointed Sen. Barrasso paid tribute to the cowboy and Wyoming’s deceased Senator.

Should the resolution pass, the fourth annual National Day of the American Cowboy will be on July 26th this year.

Two of those candidates had delegates awarded from Wyoming.
