REPUBLICAN GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE FOSTER FRIESS OPENED HIS STATE HEADQUARTERS MONDAY IN A MODEST OFFICE IN A MODEST STRIP MALL IN WEST CASPER.
FRIESS, WHO MADE HIS MILLIONS IN FINANCE AND LIVES IN JACKSON, WELCOMED THOSE WHO WANTED SIGNS, TALKED TO THOSE WHO STOPPED BY, SWAPPED STORIES WITH HIS WIFE, LYNN, AND OFFERED PIZZA FOR ALL.

WHILE THE HEADQUARTERS IS MODEST, HIS POLITICAL MACHINE IS ANYTHING BUT BECAUSE IT TAPS INTO SOME OF THE MOST SOPHISTICATED TECHNOLOGY OF THE DOMINANT FORCE BEHIND CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN POLITICS.

FOR EXAMPLE, FRIESS INTRODUCED SOME OF HIS CAMPAIGN STAFF INCLUDING JON PARKER.

FRIESS HAS HIS WORK CUT OUT FOR HIM BECAUSE HE FACES FIVE OTHER GOP CANDIDATES SEEKING THEIR PARTY'S NOMINATION IN THE AUGUST 21 PRIMARY.

THEY ARE STATE TREASURER MARK GORDON, CHEYENNE ATTORNEY HARRIET HAGEMAN, CHEYENNE BUSINESSMAN SAM GALEOTOS, RETIRED PHYSICIAN AND BUSINESSMAN TAYLOR HAYNES, AND SHERIDAN BUSINESSMAN BILL DAHLIN.
