You’ve got to stop shooting your campaign in the foot (or higher up).
I think Ken Buck has the mojo to win the GOP State Assembly, and unlike the Bennet/Romanoff race, I think that the endorsement from the GOP faithful may be what it takes to eke out the win for him in August.
And yes, I’ve signed a petition for Jane – I think she would be the better candidate in November. Bur R’s are forcing candidates to take the “conservative purity” test and on that she will lose in the primary.
I am not happy with Bennett as one of our Senators, but we’re going to have him for at least 6 more years.
Buck won the caucus straw poll. Buck and Wien have caught up to Norton (Rasmussen).
In truth, the Caucus Straw Poll was evenly split between Buck (38.2%) and Norton (37.5%). They were 153 votes (0.8%) apart out of 19,389.
Statistically tied for first.
And that is in a caucus process dominated by the true believers. Worryingly, Buck and Wien recently caught up to Norton in the Rasmussen Poll.
But who believes Wien can win?
Most Republicans are not paying attention. That will change and Norton will benefit.
“Right now we’re none of those.”
What’s this chick smoking?
As long as enough other people are smoking the same damned thing.
That’s what worries me about this election.
though I’m less sure now that Bob Bennett lost. Charlie Crist or Arlen Specter I can understand, but if Bob Bennett isn’t conservative enough for the kooks, there may not be much hope for Jane Norton (despite her best efforts to fake it). Still, she has a lot of money…
…if he hadn’t been ousted at the convention pursuant to UT GOP’s weird rules. That’s what I think.
He wouldn’t have made the ballot under Colorado Dem rules either – he only polled 26% on the second ballot.
for that matter. The 30 percent threshold is the same at both assemblies.The difference is, he could have petitioned on after falling short (so long as he got above 10 percent at the assembly), though he wouldn’t have had much time, according to Colorado rules.
…in my view.
He made thoughtless decisions (mistakes) that put the nation at risk; the tea party was a convenient opportunity to prescribe the solution through.
better back off or it will assure a Bennet win in November. McCain and company need to bow out.
got 18% of the vote in the presential primary. You think Colorado believes anything he says? You think Colorado likes to see him in bed with Kennedy, Schumer, etc.? You think Colorado won’t make the Norton/McCain connection?
Check this out Ken Buck supporters. I’d love to hear your reaction.

That’s probably why she’s holding her rally in Denver on the same day as the convention. It will hurt her more than Buck, because it will further the narrative of her selling out to the party. She lost a little bit of support endorsing McCain, about half endorsing Fiorina over Chuck DeVore, and this endorsement will finish her off. Her base of support was on the right; without that she’s toast.
And apparently has really crappy sources.
Sorry, big guy.

“well placed source”
I think that “source” probably came from from inside his head.
He’s an ‘idjit’, but do I repeat myself?
is toast with American patriots if she does that. They got rid of Bennett in Utah, hopefully Crist in Florida, elected Brown in MA. It will not stop.
An endorsement of McJain Norton will solidify both Norton and Palin as still being part of the same old stuff that Americans by the millions are rejecting.
Really? Do you exaggerate this much in real life or only on blogs where you can safely spew half assed bullshit?
Palin already endorsed Carly Fiorina–if that hasn’t ruined her street cred (and it hasn’t), endorsing Norton isn’t going to put a dent in her reputation.
Jane Norton’s brother in law, Charlie Black, was a senior advisor to McCain when she was picked. She would not be doing multi-million dollar book deals as the sitting governor of Alaska.
I think most people in Colorado will not see it as a sign of Jane’s conservative purity, rather of her political insider status and it being DC payback.
To me it is not a big deal in this race but may piss off others who thought more highly of Palin than I do.
When GOPWarrior posted that he had inside information, he was quickly addressed by how it has long been suspected Palin would endorse Norton. It just shows that Ken Buck is the Washington insider??!!
Palin endorsing Carly says it all!
Do you always spew half-assed bullshit?
Do you always regurgitate comments since you don’t seem capable of thinking for yourself?
So what’s YOUR excuse?
So, now you don’t like Palin (if she endorses Norton, that is)?!?
This teabagging “movement” is amusing to watch from the outside. It was humorous to see Palin supporters show up for a book signing and then start chanting “quitter” when she left without signing their books. I note that 2 of 3 references above are to get rid of someone. And, I wonder if you really like Brown since he’s seemed pretty moderate, at least for a GOP.
I guess that leaves you with Joe the Plumber (unless he’s done something unradical in the last 24 hours). Good luck with that.
That’s the problem with Republicans. You just have to keep taking them down until one of them stands for their principles.
GOP “principles” are contradictory, incoherent and pandering, to be charitable.
“Keep your government hands off my Medicare!” Or, how about boasting about the stimulus programs in their districts that they actually voted against. Or, …never mind.
The problem is that no one, not even Palin, can spew this stuff without tripping on their own BS.
I hear John McCain and Charlie Black are going to endorse her too. Who cares?
The assembly won’t endorse her and either will the party at the primary.
The princess is not going to the ball.
McCain endorse her??? He owns her!
Palin remembers McJane from the campaign days of ’08… OF COURSE she would endorse the McJane. Come on – the women traveled the state together. Remember the Colorado Springs/Grand Junction rally? At the airports?? Who do you think was included on the plane?
More to the point: that’s not a ringing endorsement. It’s actually pretty weak. If I had to find some sort of pull-quote from it, I’d be hard pressed.
To me, it looks like Palin is learning when to acquiesce to the ‘powers that be’.
Now THERE’S a stirring endorsement.
The last pink elephant we had in Colorado was Marilyn Musgrave, and she didn’t do that well.
But I voted for Norton – I think she’ll squeak it out but be an uninspiring candidate. And I think Bennet will win overall because he’s still an “outsider.”
You haven’t voted for anybody this round. Are you on something?
Money + name recognition > much less money + no-name
Unless Norton or Buck fails to make the ballot, why does it matter what happens at the assembly?
the Palin endorsement goes to Buck! Now get back to work.
I know I’m going to get a whole bunch of “He’s not a credible candidate” but I still like Cleve Tidwell.
Since both Norton and Wiens are petitioning on, That leaves Cleve, Buck, and some others for the assembly. I really doubt Buck will get %70.1. The others won’t get anything of notice, so Cleve will be on the ballot in August.
I really like Tidwell and he’s a really nice guy – but “he’s not a credible candidate.”
I’m betting on the the continuing disappearance of the moderate Republican. She’s been pandering so much to the far right, she’s probably denying that she even has a left hand.
I haven’t heard much about Buck and I don’t even know who Wiens is.
ScottP, do you live under a rock?
