CASPER, Wyo. (AP) - State Republican leaders are getting a chance to throw questions at three presidential candidates in Casper today (Saturday).
Fred Thompson, Sam Brownback and Duncan Hunter will each give a speech, then take questions from members of the Wyoming GOP Central Committee at Casper College.
A similar event will take place in Riverton this evening, although Thompson says he's not going to participate in that event.
Wyoming Republicans began organizing the forum last month, soon after they moved up to Jan. 5 their date for choosing delegates to the 2008 Republican National Convention.
Currently that date will be the earliest primary event in the nation next year.
Do you know if this will be on CSPAN?
Could CSpan find Wyoming on the map? LOL. I do not know.
Former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson, the most prominent of the candidates at today’s forum, speaks last. He draws an ovation from the crowd while discussing illegal immigration.
“We need to realize as a nation, that if you cannot secure our border, you will not remain a sovereign nation,” he said.”
Good to have him on board now. But in 8 years in the Senate, he never proposed a single thing to fortify the border or increase the BP.
The demand wasn’t there when he was in the senate. Pat Buchanan ran on that issue in 2000, Bush was definitely opposed to vigorous enforcement. Buchanan got ZERO percent.
People looked at a lot of things differently after 9/11.
