Popular Democratic Governors in Red states aren't favored to move to the Senate. Same rule goes for many Blue states.
Evan Bayh and Joe Manchin?
I don't think you can compare WV, where Democrats are still strong at statewide level, nor even Indiana, where Democrats can be competive to Wyoming.
You completely missed the point of my post. I'm quite aware that each state's case is different (strength of the Democratic Party in WV, the electoral successes of the IN Democratic Party, etc.), nor was I necessarily trying to "compare" WY with any other state.
Instead, I was addressing the sweeping generalization that popular Democratic Governors of "Red" states (and vice versa) aren't favored to win election to national office--a generalization I believe to be flawed (see: Bayh, Evan; Gregg, Judd; Manchin, Joe; Nelson, Ben). I don't see how I'm wrong.
