2006 Midterm Election Update #11: Another look at Wyoming

Since Wyoming is my homestate I want to give another look at the races there. This will be my last one before the election. In one of the most hotly contested U.S. House races in this election, 6-term incumbant Barbara Cubin is in the fight of her political career. Democratic challenger Gary trauner has rapidly been climbing in numbers. He is now almost in a virtual tie with Mrs. Cubin. According to a new poll out today, Mrs Cubin stands at 44%, Trauner is a 40%, and the Libertarian Candidate Thom Rankin is at 5% with a 4.2% margin of error. Cubin's numbers have been falling, because of her incident at the last debate. She threatened to slap crippled libertarian Thom Rankin, because of his stating of ner involvment in the Abramoff scandal which is false. Her numbers have also been falling, because if her negative campaign. Her negative ads have given Trauner the edge and ammunition in his ads. These ads make Trauner look like the honest candidate, by going positive. The race continues with a very tight race. This is definately one to watch!
