CHEYENNE - The Democrats contending in the primary for Wyoming's two U.S. Senate seats face formidable challenges if they prevail: statewide contests against Republican incumbents who have the upper hand in notoriety and fundraising.
But the four candidates in the Aug. 19 Democratic primary shrug off the daunting scenario, preferring to focus on their attempt to chip away at the GOP's grip on Wyoming's two U.S. Senate seats - one held by Republicans for 31 years and the other for 46 years.
"It may have been that the Republicans in those years were more accurately reflecting the interests of the state," said Chris Rothfuss, one of two Democrats vying to challenge Sen. Mike Enzi. "I don't think that's true anymore. But I don't think people have taken the time to sort of look down at where they're standing on issues and look around at where the parties are on issues and make that call again."

CHEYENNE -- A political newcomer and a perennial political candidate face off in the Aug. 19 primary election for a six-year U.S. Senate term.
Chris Rothfuss of Laramie, 35, an instructor at the University of Wyoming who holds a doctorate in chemical engineering, is making energy independence the centerpiece of his campaign.
Al Hamburg of Torrington, a 76-year-old sign and house painter who served three stints in the Army, said his main issues are the same ones he ran on last time: drugs and illegal immigration and the “stupid, wasteful war in Iraq.”
The winner of the primary election will challenge Republican incumbent Sen. Mike Enzi in the November election. Enzi is running unopposed for his party's nomination.
