But as his petition drive to gather signatures progressed, it became clear that most of his support was coming from Democrats and independents.</p><p>Roberts was a Democratic candidate for governor in 1998 and lost the primary to John Vinich, who then lost the general election.</p> Thu, 26 Jul 2012 23:55:18 +0000 The Associated Press 27565 at http://wyomingpublicradio.net Roberts drops bid for U.S. Senate
