I don't think that Barbara Cubin is in particular danger of losing the general election. However, she would be highly vulnerable in a Republican primary against one well-known opponent.

Congresswoman Barbara Cubin has never had the political security of Wyoming's two U.S. Senators.

That's quite an interesting comment from a self-described "Ultra-Conservative".....especially since Cubin has a 97 lifetime rating from ACU.....

I'm not sure, but I think that Republicans were unable to unite after the primary.
Also, Freudenthal had name I.D. from his days as U.S. Attorney for Wyoming.

Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Most of the Union voters are in the Southern Tier of the state.
But the case is that Barbara Cubin has never been all that popular in Wyoming.
To: Clintonfatigued
Whats the complaint on her by the way. Some local issue?
To: Clintonfatigued; AuH2ORepublican; JohnnyZ
I've never understood what it is that has engendered ill-will towards Barbara Cubin. I've seen nothing objectionable towards her voting record whatsoever.
As for Freudenthal, the greatest worry I have is a potential future run for the Senate. We cannot afford to be sending a Democrat from Wyoming (the last one elected was Gale McGee in his 3rd and final term in 1970).

I'm not certain. I know that she was controversial while in the state legislature.

She seens to have an abrasive personality. Former Senator Malcolm Wallop was never particularly popular for the same reason.
IMHO, the biggest possible threat to Cubin's tenure would be if term-limited state Treasurer Cynthia Loomis were to challenge her in the GOP primary.
To: Clintonfatigued
All these new comers moving in bother me. I ran into some young punks from California the other night. All they did was tell me how much better the socialist programs in California were compared to Idaho.
That's why a democrat can win in Wyoming.
To: Clintonfatigued
Cubin's performance was described as "fair" or "poor" by 53 percent of those polled -- including 38 percent of the Republicans surveyed. They lumped the fair in with the poor?
Heck I rate my congressman as poor and I'll be voting for his sorry RINO hide again this November, and I wouldn't cross the street to spit on him.

I've heard the "abrasive" charge. I never understood it in Malcolm Wallop's case. I saw a speech he gave once on C-Span in the late '90s and he had practically the entire audience on its feet clamoring to have him run for President. Alan Simpson could often get ornery, though, and he was a bit of a RINO.

I wouldn't panic too much, yet. Since 1974, Jim Geringer was the only GOP Governor (1995-2003). I think the people like to elect a Democrat to counterbalance the GOP legislature (which, to my knowledge, has never once gone Democrat since statehood), sort of like a Massachusetts in reverse.

I know this is a house race and Cubin will almost certainly win, but why is it almost every senator up for reelection seems to be a republican? What's the deal?
Thomas is 100% secure though.
