We are in the middle of the second round of debates among candidates for statewide office. Sunday afternoon, Dale Groutage and Craig Thomas squared off in the U.S. Senate race, and then last night, Gary Trauner, Barbara Cubin and Tom Rankin participated in the U.S. House debate. Monday night, Gov. Dave Freudenthal and challenger Ray Hunkins debated the issues in their race, followed by superintendent of public instruction candidates Michelle Hoffman and Jim McBride. Tuesday night, candidates for state auditor (7 p.m.) and state treasurer (7:30 p.m.) debated at the Parkway Plaza Hotel in Casper, events that were broadcast live on both Wyoming Public Television and Wyoming Public Radio. The final event was an hour-long show featuring this year's proposed state constitutional amendments and the races in general, beginning at 8 p.m.
As they did the previous week, Democrats Dale Groutage and Gary Trauner clearly out-debated their opponents on Sunday. If these debates are any indication, Wyoming can make big improvements in its congressional representation by sending both Gary and Dale to Washington. Meanwhile, Gov. Dave pointed out that the main difference between the campaigns he and his opponent are running is that his opponent emphasizes partisan politics, while Freudenthal is focusing on what's best for the people of Wyoming, regardless of partisan persuasion, as he always has in his first four years in office.
