Hope she can hang on, Republican turnout looks like it will be around 90,000. I think the Dems will be less than 20,000.

[WVNan]

If that voting ratio holds for the Nov. election, it’s in the bag.

[Postman]

Is this good or bad for us right wing clingers?

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Steelers6.

[Clintonfatigued]

This is good news. I think that Meyer could become a national conservative celebrity.

[Steelers6]

Mead retakes lead by 602 votes with 15% left, don’t know where precincts left are

Whoever wins the GOP Governor Primary Election is the next Governor of Wyoming. The Congressional seat remains Pubbie, also. The Democrat Party is in for a literal slaughter and destruction in Wyoming!!! Check out the numbers in Washington State. It looks like Patty Murray is in real trouble. It also looks like the Pubbies can take two additional Democrat seats. Please total all the numbers up and you will clearly identify the trend. It is true and getting stronger with each passing day. POTUS Obama is radioactive and will help destroy the Democrat party. All Americans, vote on Election day, November 2, 2010 and help the country destroy the entire Democrat “Traitor” party and....with it anti-American hater POTUS Barack Hussein Obama!!!

Another state that really needs a runoff for races.

[SC Swamp Fox]

What are the rules in Wyoming? Since no one will get 50% is there a runoff between the top two? If not, the race is so close a recount is assured.

[iowamark]

State Auditor Rita Meyer seems to be the more conservative of the bunch. 23 years in the Air National Guard.

[Theodore R.]

Simpson is the RINO candidate. I would have preferred Mead, I think.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Meyer is the Palin-endorsed candidate. Mead is a member of the Hansen family, his grandfather being the late Governor and Senator Clifford Hansen (his mom, Mary Hansen Mead, was the Gubernatorial nominee in 1990). He was the U.S. Attorney under Dubya and lost the endorsement to fill the vacancy for Craig Thomas’s Senate seat to John Barrasso.

[Theodore R.]

The only runoffs are in OK and six or seven southern state.

[fieldmarshaldj]

No runoff.

[LdSentinal]

Mead should win.

[Steelers6]

Looks like Matt Mead is the winner here, 17 precincts to go and a 1,400 vote lead.

Amen. In both Indiana and Michigan RINOs were nominated because conservatives split the majority of the votes.

[Clintonfatigued]

It looks like Matt Mead is going to win this thing. Another near-miss, just like in Georgia.

[counterpunch]

Where is that McPalin magic?
From what I could tell her in California, McPalin endorses the woman, not the conservative.
Interesting how she stayed mum in the Colorado race.
Did she choose not to endorse Ken Buck because Jane Norton is a woman and wouldn’t speak out against her, or because she was Juan McCain’s hand-picked RINO?
