So how's the governor's race shaping up?

From what I understand, Freudenthal's approval ratings are very high, though in Wyoming that doesn't necessarily mean he'll win. I don't know much of anything about his opponent. What's the word on the street? His to lose?

1. He'll probably be re-elected

I'd predict he's gunna win. Not only cause he's doin a pretty awesome job, as shown by his approval ratings, but also because Wyoming has a pretty solid "if it aint broke, don't fix it" mentality. And Freudenthal definatly isn't broken. We just want to check the box that keeps murder illegal, and keeps tits on our TV's. Plus he sent off a petition to get wolves delisted. That's goin to set well with most Wyomingites.

3. and unlike the federal offices, dems have a decent shot at governor

I don't know why that is, but it was certainly true when i lived there.

It will be a massacre. Gov Dave gets four more years.
