2010 Wyoming Governor Election

The 2010 Wyoming Governor Election will be a close one! The problem is, it is likely to be a close one in the Republican Primary, not in the November General Election.

On the final day open to registration for the 2010 Wyoming Governor Election, Leslie Petersen and Pete Gosar both registered with the Democrat party. Leslie had been the chairwoman of the Wyoming Democratic Party.

After eight years with a Democrat in the governor s office the 2010 Wyoming Governor Election could be a sad one for the Dems.

The Republicans have four major candidates in the 2010 Wyoming Governor Election. They include the Wyoming Speaker of the House, Colin Simpson, the Wyoming State Auditor, Rita Meyer, a former US Attorney to Wyoming, Matt Mead, and a very conservative rancher, Ron Micheli, who previously served 16 years in the legislature.

The 2010Wyoming Governor Election will be focused on a few core issues. Education, Jobs, States Rights, and the 2nd Amendment. Each of these has a series of sub-issues, and the details presented by the candidates will likely determine the outcome.

All the major candidates are familiar names in Wyoming politics and law. Colin Simpson and Matt Mead are both lawyers. Simpson s practice is based in Cody, and Mead is in Cheyenne. Rita Meyer, in addition to be the State Auditor, was Chief of Staff for the governor prior to Dave Freudenthal, and she is a retired Wyoming Air National Guard Colonel.

Ron Micheli is the political outsider, and just might be able to leverage that to an advantage. The Tea Party concepts are strong in Wyoming, even if Wyomingites are not prone to large demonstrations and joining protest groups. Still, the 2010 Wyoming Governor Election will be strongly influenced by the core beliefs of the Tea Party, and Ron Micheli is the closest in ideology to that group of any candidate.
