Primary day: Washington and Wyoming,
preview and link to results |
|---|
It's voting day for folks in Washington and Wyoming. In the Evergreen State - that's Washington, in case you didn't know - Republican Dino Rossi appears set to face off against
Democratic incumbent Patty Murray in November. But he likely won't be winning today's primary contest. How can this be, you ask?
Washington has a mixed primary
where the top two vote-getters earn the right to advance to the general election. And though Rossi is running within the margin of error against Murray in recent polls, his general
election supporters will be divided among several GOP candidates in today's vote. Murry has Democratic candidates to deal with as well, but with names like Mike The Mover and
Michael "Goodspaceguy" Nelson, her base will be significantly less divided. So it should be Murry first, Rossi second and former Washington Redskin Clint Didier third.
In Wyoming, popular Democratic Governor Dave Freudenthal is term-limited this year. That's bad news for Democratic chances to hold the Governor's Mansion here.
Today's GOP primary will serve as the de facto deciding election in this race. Auditor Rita Meyer narrowly leads three other strong GOP candidates in the
field. For the Democrats, Leslie Peterson enjoys comfortable leads in recent polling and should win the nod.
As returns come in this evening, you can track them here.
Update: I incorrectly noted the GOP frontrunner in Wyoming's gubernatorial primary as "Matt Meyer." It is in fact Auditor Rita Meyer. Matt Mead, U.S.
attorney, is also in the running.

| Fifty state tour - Wyoming preview |
|---|
So we come to final stop in our fifty state tour. It is the ultra-conservative state of Wyoming, home to former Vice-President Dick Cheney and colossal Republican victories in
presidential elections. Looking at the historical partisan snapshot on the Wyoming state
page, you'll see nothing but red - and solid red, at that - except for the governor's line. In the Senate, Republicans Mike Enzi and John Barrasso are as safe as they
come. In the House, Congresswoman Cynthia Lummis won a rare close battle in 2006 before elevating the GOP victory margin back to its customary convincing level in 2008.
Her third run this year is not considered competitive.
Governor: Dave Freudenthal holds the honor of presiding over the most Republican state with a Democratic governor. He won't have that honor come January
as he is term-limited in 2010. For a while, though, Freudenthal considered challenging Wyoming's term-limits law in court. In a unique situation, Wyoming's law was considered
vulnerable to a challenge after the state Supreme Court struck down a similar law limiting the terms of state legislators. In march, however, the governor decided against a
lawsuit. His decision cemented this race in the takeover category since no Democrat in the state can come close to the cross-party appeal offered by this centrist, well-liked chief
executive. Observers noted that no Democrat would signal a run for the nomination in this race until Freudenthal stepped aside. But in the two months after his exit, only one
Democrat has jumped in, newcomer Rex Wilde. The pickings are not so slim on the GOP side. Seeing an easy general election win, several Republicans are vying for the
nomination. No primary polls are available, but that doesn't effect the rating of this race here at Election Projection. No matter who secures the nomination, this one will be a
clear Republican victory. I'm starting it off as a Strong GOP Gain, but I feel certain it will end up in the solid category before the votes are
counted.
The Wyoming state page has more good information.
