WY-AL: Cubin to retire in 2008?

[Adlai Stevenson]

Place Congresswoman Barbara Cubin (R) on the retirement watch list. After winning a surprisingly tough re-election battle in 2006 and surviving aggressive primary challenges in her last two races, Cubin does not seem to be acting like an endangered incumbent facing re-election in 2008. New financial reports showed Cubin raised just $11,000 in 3Q-07 and now has less than $10,000 cash-on-hand remaining in the bank. Cubin also has one of the worst attendance records in the US House. State House Majority Leader Colin Simpson (R), motivational speaker Swede Nelson (R), and Teton County School Board Chair/'06 nominee Gary Trauner (D) are already planning to challenge Cubin in next year's race.

Hope springs eternal.  I could certainly live with another Simpson in Congress representing Wyoming...

Seriously, if Cubin retired, lost the primary or lost the general, I doubt any one in the House would notice she was gone

I missed the question mark the first time I read this thread title.

Bastard.

Good News

Will Gary Trauner (The man who almost won last year) run again? I was shocked at how well he did.

He is; he announced his candidacy about a week ago. He probably wouldn't do as good against someone other than Barbara Cubin, though.
