Wyoming Vote Tracker

Who would have thunk? Environmentalists going court and judge shopping for their cause? Judging by what a judge in Missoula, MT says, that’s exactly what happened. Continue Reading »

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 »

Inquiring minds want to know, especially inquiring Republican minds! Reporters have been camping outside of Sen. Enzi’s D.C. office trying to get some inkling of information about his electoral intentions, but so far he has given them no clues, other than he will announce his decision (whatever it is) in Wyoming.

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 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 »

It’s not much of a secret that this year’s Congressional and Senatorial elections in Wyoming are going to be huge. Here’s a quick look at what’s happening on the campaign trail and what I think it means. Continue Reading »

Well, it’s a new week, so it must be time for another NYT McCain hit-piece. Yes, the New York Times has endorsed John McCain, the most attractive Republican to Democrats, as their choice for the Republican nomination and they will likely choose to endorse the Democrat nominee for the General election in November, but now that Sen. McCain has achieved presumptive nominee status, it’s time to throw him under the bus, because he’s a Republican. Will the Times manage to kill the McCain campaign?

• It all started with the McCain-female lobbyist story. McCain’s reaction was to deny the allegation and express his disappointment with the dying paper, as if there was some affair going on between him and the Times. The end-of-the-day result was a spike in support for the presumptive nominee. Amazingly, the Times admitted their loss.
• Have you heard that Sen. McCain is old?
• With the bus driver admitting that the intended target was missed, they had to try again. So, let’s explore where McCain was born: outside of the U.S. on a U.S. military base! Should Sen. McCain be elected President, he would be the first born outside the U.S., with the exception of the first Presidents that were allowed to be President because of their status when the Constitution was ratified. Since Sen. McCain is a real liberal (by his own admission), his good friend and colleague from Missouri has introduced a bill to clarify that Sen. McCain’s natural-born citizenship (or any potential future candidate in a similar situation) would not be questioned.
• So, today’s attempt at landing Sen. McCain on the double yellow line is Sen. McCain’s inconsistency. Sure, he’s driving the Straight-Talk Express, but he opposed tax cuts before supporting them being permanent, he isn’t as hard-line on comprehensive immigration reform as he once was, he opposed abortion for a long time, then in ‘99 he slipped up and told a reporter he just wants to see Roe v. Wade become irrelevant, now he wants to see it overturned. He recently claimed to be “the only one” calling for former Defense Sec’y Rumsfeld to go, now he’s not using that line because it turns out he was wrong. And finally, Sen. McCain, who was tortured as a POW in Vietnam, voted against restricting tactics used by CIA interrogators. To be fair, he has yet to flip on his Gang of 14 idea. No doubt, the very Senior Senator from Arizona is disappointed that the Times is reporting the way they are.

So there you have it, a run-down of the old media’s attempt to run down their Republican of choice. For all of you that are saying I’m helping by pointing it out and I should just “shut up about McCain,” I never supported McCain. Never voted for him and never gave him my endorsement.

Some belated thoughts on the Park County Lincoln Day Dinner. I’m not a fast enough writer to transcribe what was said word for word, and I was so in awe, that I forgot I had a pad and pen handy, so I’ll commentate relying on the things that stick out in my mind. I have made some comments in a couple of prior posts, so if I repeat them here. it is merely because I forgot that I already said it or that I just wanted a central location for my thoughts on the event.

In case anyone was wondering, Mitt Romney’s campaign is only under suspension. That’s what his son Josh wants us all to know. Pointing out that McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee has still failed to attract conservatives, Josh  Romney has not ruled out a possible reentry by his father. Continue Reading »
