Reader Poll: Gov Dave Opts Out. Should The Sage Grouse Run?

Gov Dave opts for family life.

Meanwhile, on the GOP side there’s a farmer and a National Guard commander and a prosecutor and of course a Simpson (hey, there’s always a Simpson running for governor, right?) jockeying for position.

And, there is suddenly a huge vacuum on the Demo side.  Do you hear Ross Perot’s giant sucking sound?  (Well no, we don’t, actually that’s a different metaphor.)

Wouldn’t it be nice if Gov Dave had disclosed his family’s thinking earlier?  If I were a Democratic candidate, I would be irritated.  However, I am not…….

But, wait!!  Maybe The Sage Grouse COULD be a candidate.  I hear the phone a-ringing; could be another university fundraiser or fake pollster, or instead …. finally ….. destiny calling.  I could switch party registration again, for the zillionth time; hey, don’t give me crap, that is an honored Wyoming tradition.  If you registered as a Republican in 1992 you could vote twice against Dan Quayle, in the primary and the general.  I voted against Dan Quayle every time I could, even though that meant nothing in Wyoming.

Ooops, having been registered as a GOP person, there go my yellow dog credentials.  Oh well, I am probably more of a blue dog, or actually maybe I am more of a red dog, whatever that is.  No color of dog gets much traction in the Demo party if they spent a number of years registered as a Repub.

But, sudden epiphany strikes:  My dogs pee on conspicuous targets like bushes and hydrants, maybe I better stick to that role for selected politicians and sacred cows.

Or should I run? You decide.

[Editor’s Note: The Sage Grouse’s political platform, shaky as it is, can be found through a careful reading of his columns on the front page of www.wyofile.com.  As a putative candidate, for example, you would learn that he loves dragonflies, abhors the idea of tolls on I-80, thinks animal shelters should euthanize pit bulls and thinks bear baiting is lazy, and maybe even cowardly.]

Update from the Grouse April 2, 2010:

Political Aspirations Get Complicated

It must be because I wrote about Dan Quayle.

I had this dream, and Lloyd Bentsen was berating The Sage Grouse, saying:  “I knew Hunter S. Thompson and you’re no Hunter S. Thompson.”

Damn.

Now it’s REALLY time for a pity party.
