State Sen. John Barrasso is pro-abort, which IMHO disqualifies him to represent a heavily Republican constituancy. I don’t know where state Representative Colin Simpson stands on the issues, but his last name would be a great asset for the general election.
Tom Sansonetti is good on the issues, but it’s not clear whether he has the political strength to win. That may leave U.S. Attorney Matt Mead as the choice.
