CHEYENNE, - For a Democratic governor to survive in steadfastly conservative Wyoming, it helps to exhibit a good sense of humor, be a straight shooter and wield a brand of politics that leans more than slightly to the right.
In his first year, Dave Freudenthal has done just that, and won admirers from both sides of the aisle.
"Overall I'd give him good marks," said Sarah Gorin of the state government watchdog group the Equality State Policy Center. "There's an enthusiasm there that hasn't been seen in a long time."
Bill Sniffin, who lost in the Republican gubernatorial primary, said Freudenthal has lived up to his billing.
"I think the man that we got as governor is 100 percent identical to the man who ran for governor," he said. "He's a fiscal conservative. He appeals to Republicans and much as Democrats, which is mandatory in order to get anything done in Wyoming if you're a Democrat." |
