Natrona County GOP Chairman Bill Cubin has addressed the concerns of many Republicans across the state concerning Mark Gordon. While he did not encourage not supporting Mr. Gordon, he did support the groundswell of concern over information about his past donations. Continue Reading »

Last September, Sen. Hank Coe announced that he was giving serious thought to running for Governor in 2010. Given that the seat will be open (provided there is no successful legal challenge to the term limits law), it’s only natural for Republicans to start piling on. Another speculator has announced the possibility…

Some folks can’t believe that I, a strong pro-lifer, am giving my support to Cynthia Lummis. Well believe it. I was made aware of her stance on the abortion issue in the first part of March. It was explained to me, I contemplated, thought about, and considered it, compared it to what I believe, and at some time down the road said I can give my support knowing this much. It’s not exactly where I am, but there is some compatibility in our beliefs. Continue Reading »

In case you haven’t heard or seen the news, Sen. Enzi made his decision public yesterday. For the past several months, Republican officials have been pondering what Wyoming’ senior senator was going to do this year. The media has been prying to end to get some kind of idea what to write about. Granted, Sen. Enzi is pretty popular, so a re-election could be fairly easy, but everyone wants to know if they should be watching for a new Republican face to come along. Continue Reading »

I know what you’re thinking:
Scott, would you just shut up about McCain already?!?!?!? He’s the nominee, leave him alone and just ride the storm out.

I’m starting a new feature here on WVT. At this point, I’m going to call it “Wyoming Blog Roundup,” but, as moderate as it sounds, I am open to suggestions.
The basic idea behind the Wyoming Blog Roundup is to point out interesting blog posts by Wyoming bloggers (even if they’re displaced Wyoming bloggers). Hopefully, this will be a weekly series that perhaps gains as much popularity as Monday Night Football, but if not, I’ll take what I can get. Sometimes, the posts will be centered on one topic, other times the posts will be on an assortment of topics.
Now that you know some of what to expect, without further adieu, here’s the first edition of the Wyoming Blog Roundup: Continue Reading »

I haven’t blogged about this judicial nominee at all until this post. Such is the life of a blogger with two jobs that take much of the day (unless said blogger is sick, then there’s plenty of time between napping and eating soup). From what I’ve heard of Richard Honaker, he would be a great Federal judge for Wyoming.
The following comes from an e-mail I just received and I wanted to pass it along to you. Continue Reading »

My fellow Wyomingites, this year we face an important and historic election cycle in this state. I know many of you (myself included) are somewhat distraught about the Republican Presidential nomination process. Our nominee has been picked for us by the influence of Independents and Democrats in open primary states and the struggle of having two conservatives in the race vying for the same block of voters.
Let not your heart be troubled. It’s not the end of the world because we didn’t get our favored nominee. It just means we’re gonna have to do some self-examination and regrouping in the party over the next four to eight years.
On another, more exciting token, we have a rare event taking place in Wyoming this year. Continue Reading »

On Saturday, March 15, I made up one-fourth of a group of Park County Republicans that “crashed” the Big Horn County GOP Lincoln Day Dinner in Lovell, Wyoming. The event was not as large or elegant as the dinner held in Cody a month prior, but it was still nice to get to socialize with some Republicans from the rival county. Following is a recollection of what happened. Continue Reading »
