Title: DEM GOV ENDORSES DEM CANIDATE -- NO NEWS HERECheyenne -- The following is a statement from Tucker Fagan, campaign manager for Lummis for Congress."So let me get this straight - the Democrat Governor of Wyoming, who endorsed and campaigned for Barack Obama in Wyoming and other states has decided to endorse the Democrat candidate for Congress in Wyoming. Is there anyone who honestly thinks he would have done anything different? I just wonder why Gov. Freudenthal would endorse Barack Obama months ago and it took him this long to endorse Gary Trauner - two weeks before the election. I mean, it's not like he was going to do anything differently, but is sure took him a long time to do it.
"This is only a surprise to those who are also surprised when the wind blows in Wyoming."
Given the back-and-forth between the Lummis and Trauner camps about negativity and the like, the tone of this email was indeed a surprise to this reader. Obviously, tensions are running high this close to the election, but it's an error for either side to forget about good judgement. It seems that Fagan may have hit the send button on this one a bit too quickly.

Freudenthal wasn't exactly the quickest to jump on the Obama train either as I recall. He's hardly a "liberal Democrat" as Ms. Lummis likes to say. Any other state farther east, he'd be a moderate Republican governor.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of which, is it possible for a person to be simply a Democrat? If so, I'd be curious to know how the regular Democrat differs from his liberal (and thus evil) cousin.
Tucker Fagen... I hope Lummis is careful when you saying his name aloud as she's thanking her staffers during any given engagement... it might cost her the election.
