DescriptionWhen Wyoming Gov. Dave Freudenthal (D) won reelection in 2006 with a whopping 70 percent of the vote, most political observers -- The Fix included -- assumed that he would be the last Democrat to hold the office for quite some time.

After all, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) carried the Equality State with 65 percent of the vote in the 2008 presidential election and Freudenthal was banned by state law from running for a third term.

Or not.

It now appears that Freudenthal may well seek a third term in 2010 -- thanks to a series of legal and political maneuvers that began more than two decades ago.
