and his replacement either this year or four years from now will likely be a Democrat, according to historical trends. The two parties alternate the governorship. Of course that could end, just like sending one Republican and one Democratic senator to DC ended in 1980.
We had a guy named Hugh "big foot" Binford who ran on the sagebrush rebellion back in the day. After the Republican primary, he was never heard from again.
