Not exactly flocking, as only two candidates are expected. Kansas Senator Sam Brownback, a right-wing fundamentalist, spoke to 40 Friday night at a dinner put on by the Wyoming Family Coalition, a political action committee that supports fundie policies. According to the Casper Star-Tribune, "California Rep. Duncan Hunter, who was scheduled to attend the dinner in person, instead delivered his speech via speaker phone from the Minneapolis airport." (Now wasn’t that where Larry Craig got into trouble?)
Also from the CST:
Hunter called the dinner as his wife Lynne, a former Wheatland resident, was giving a speech in his absence. She described him as a "buy American Republican," who won't wear clothes that aren't made in the United States. "Some people call him a dark horse," she said. "I think he's going to surprise a lot of people."
Didn’t know that Lynne Hunter once lived in Wheatland, just 70 miles north of Cheyenne. I do like the fact that she will only wear clothes made in the U.S. If so, why does her husband keep voting with other Republicans to export U.S. jobs overseas? Why has he voted to give tax breaks to corporations to do just that? Pretty soon, Lynne, you'll have to make your own clothes if you want the "Made in the U.S.A." label.
