Political newcomer Ted Ladd of Wilson won the Democratic nomination for Wyoming's lone U.S. House seat on Tuesday, narrowly defeating fellow newcomer John Henley of Casper.

Ladd will face incumbent Republican U.S. Rep. Barbara Cubin in the general election in November.

"Part of my job over the next two-and-a-half months is not only to show that Mrs. Cubin has failed to provide a voice for Wyoming, but has done damage to Wyoming," Ladd said.

With 97 percent of 483 precincts reporting statewide, Ladd had 14,473 votes, or 47 percent. Henley had 13,799 votes or 44 percent. Al Hamburg of Torrington had 2,794 votes or 9 percent.

2. I wonder if he'll expose Cubin's swinger lifestyle?

OOPS, did I let that slip?

Was all the gossip in Cheyenne bars about 8 years ago.

:evilgrin:

3. Cubin

is a royal bitch, and a bimbo to boot. Misses tons of votes with hangovers.

4. Yeah, and she and her husband used to swing all the time

Well known in certain circles in Wyoming. she's about as hypocritical as they come.

5. I chose to vote in a Toss-up state (oregon) instead

but I saw the paper today. Ladd is really educated, which I like, I hope he can beat Cubin. My parents ended up registering Repuke to vote for Asay, sadly Cubin still got 55% of the vote.
