"I haven't changed my position on Howard Dean," Freudenthal said. "I didn't invite him, don't plan to meet with him. It's a free country, I guess, and he's free to go wherever he wants."



Howard Dean was not in Wyoming for a Trauner fund raising event.

Bill Luckett, Wyoming Democratic Party spokesman, confirmed that Dean was in Teton County for a fund raising event. He and other party leaders had no details about Dean's schedule, and said state Democrats had no ties to the function.
“The (Democratic National Committee) does a lot of things that they don't keep the state party in the loop on, which is fine,” Luckett said. Kyle DeBeer, executive party director, said national political figures occasionally cash in on fund raising events in Jackson, which is known for its wealth. “I don't know of any (Wyoming) candidates who will be attending” Wednesday night's fund raising event, DeBeer said. Linda Stoval, campaign manager for Democratic U.S. House candidate Gary Trauner, said she'd heard that Dean was in Wyoming but had no details about the visit. “I know it isn't related to our campaign,” she said.
