Cory Gardner Loves Him Some "Eggmendment"

What won't Cory Gardner say to get elected?

I think the long, extended trainwreck answer to that question is going to be fun to watch.

Has Cory Gardner ever said anything that showed any smarts

The guy is so shallow.

And we Democrats appreciate that

Gardner winning the primary means Markey wins the general. So go Cory!!!

Cory has actually shown real knowledge and leadership on water law.

How did A-48 do in CD-4?

Especially in Morgan, Weld and all of the other Eastern Plains counties where Gardner needs to get votes in the CD-4 GOP primary?

Schaffer knew this kind of messaging wasn't going to work in a statewide general election, but maybe Gardner is trying to make sure he has the best conservative credentials for the primary.

Gotta go with Ardy on this one.

maybe Gardner is trying to make sure he has the best conservative credentials for the primary.

  The question isn't even how the eggmendment did in CD-4, it's how it did among the generally conservative Republican voters of the district who will dominate the GOP primary  -- and I'd guess it had a healthy majority of that group.  Come the general, however, the statement will haunt Cory.  Remember, all those eastern plains counties add up to just 15 percent of the vote in a district dominated by just just  Front Range Counties: Weld, Larimer and (northern) Boulder.
  Team Markey is taking notes and eagerly awaiting the general election.  So are the pro-choice soccer moms of Boulder-Weld-Larimer.

I guess you're right, Steve.

The Ardy39 sig misled me, so I was actually agreeing with RSB.
 The horror, the horror ;-)

Wow, nevermind

Cory Gardner is a moron for hitching his wagon to this failed, idiotic policy.
