I didn't see this one coming, and I bet Barrasso didn't either.

After a couple of paragraphs praising Barrasso, the CST gets right to the point: However, too often it seems Barrasso is more interested in scoring quick points on cable news and climbing the political ladder than making real change. Moreover, his win-at-all-costs style of politics leaves us wondering what he truly believes in.

Here is a LINK TO THE ARTICLE, it's a must read. (Unless you are a subscriber, beware of the ads)

I have seen many Dodson ads on YouTube. They sound like ads for Bernie Sanders or Pocahontas.

Aha, I'm not alone. Could be wrong of course, but I have thought from the start that Dodson was a "plant". I just can't help but picture him and Trauner having a weekly meeting to discuss how it's going. (Dave supporters-please don't get undies in a twist, but rather just laugh at my stupidity) I have a natural inclination to suspect that most of the schemes being cooked up to subvert the traditional political direction in Wyo are coming out of Jackson.

Just like the old saying “We’re from the government, and we’re here to help,” for me, Dodson’s platform of “Trust me, I’m better than THAT guy, things will be much better,” is just not carrying weight. There’s too much uncertainty about him as well, I don’t know what to believe! Better the devil you know in the case of this election.

Democrat converted to Republican Charlie Hardy has just withdrawn from the Senate race, and endorsed Dave Dodson. Is this a last minute move to solidify left leaning support against Barrasso? When he converted, I was wondering if Charlie had to paint over the peace signs on the old Bernie bus?

And in other news, the AP is reporting that the Wyoming Secretary of State's Office reports that 32,147 ballots were cast in advance of Tuesday's statewide primary election, and mentioned that 90% of the absentee ballots went out were returned.

Change the name Barasso to any politician. You're not going to find many people of either party who are much different.

On this we agree. Probably not much else politically, but this we can agree on.

I wonder if the congress critters all sit around together and get a good laugh at us running out to vote for this one or that one, when they are all buddies and working together to fleece us? (With a few notable exceptions, of course.)
