Wouldn’t that be a fun campaign?
But you can’t replace somebody still in the race.
Three staffers resign? Wow.
I guess that’s all I have to say.
The surprise here?
It wasn’t so much shock or surprise as it was an expression of… well, shoo wee! 😉
for this primary.
Just to vote against:
1. Jane (God’s Law trumps the US Constitution) Norton.
2. Scott (I shaved off my mustache just to appease some people) McInnis.
I am so happy that I made this choice (I will be an unaffiliated voter on August 11th) because these primaries are way more fun than they appeared to be a few months ago.
Now, I vote because:
1. Is still true.
2. Scooter is a lying SOB who would throw his friends under the bus to advance his case.
Would you want to die a Republican?
I’m going to wait until Primary day and declare and vote at a service center to minimize that probability.
I really like mail voting now that I can no longer walk the 100 meters to my precinct polling place.
You need to make up your mind…
Is that OK with you?
By the way, I don’t recall ever saying that I was going to “probably” vote for anyone. However, I have reminded Rabid Romies on several occasions that negativism wasn’t going to help them win my vote.
If you can point to a post where I said I was “probably” going to vote for anyone, it might help refresh my aging memory.
You come across as a Bennet supporter but it is a matter of inflection where I read that into your comments.
As for which primary, I figure I’ll watch the polls and vote where I can cause the most trouble. One of the joys of being a “U.”
There’s a great old joke about Rabbi Rabinowitz and Father Flanagan, who arrive in the same neighborhood as young men and aggressively try to recruit for their respective flocks.
Finally, at 75, Rabbi Rabinowitz is hit by a truck. As he lays dying, he asks for Father Flanagan. The good priest, shocked at the misfortune of his old friend/rival, asks what he can do to help.
“Baptize me and give me the last rites of the Roman Catholic Church,” Rabbi Rabinowitz asks.
Stunned, Father Flanagan opens his bag to get the necessary holy water, oils, etc. But first, he asks: “I have to ask, Rabbi. For 50 years, I tried to convert you. What did I say to convince you to finally decide to become a Catholic?”
“It wasn’t anything you said,” the good rabbi gasped.
Seems a little mean spirited for my taste but I can see where it would appeal to your naturally grumpier nature. Loveably grumpy of course.
Like the one about the one surviving document form the Last Supper.
Add another 15 points to account for the Rasmussen built-in error and you’ve got a catastrophe.
It is humorous to see him only two points behind Hick according to Rasapalooza. Believe in the Ras, Scooter. Stay in the race!
Interesting article on pollster.com about the Rasmussen “house effect.”
http://www.pollster.com/blogs/…
The biggest problem with Ras is that he stops polling right before an election. So, he can always claim that something happened right before the ultimate poll, i.e., the election, that lets him off the hook. That’s the most dishonest part of Razapalooza. In fact, he is so dishonest that I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t actually do any polling whatsoever. Instead, he just releases results intended to help the Republican strategy. I would like someone to conduct an audit of his polls.
This reminds me of Chamber of Commerce types when they state that we will lose 10,452 jobs if business tax exemptions are eliminated. Today’s media will report this without question, when it’s probably just all bs. For example, how many jobs are lost when companies realize how poorly we finance our educational system? My research concludes that we lose 26,794.5 jobs. And, you can report that as fact.
Good point. From the Coloradoan this week, reporting on Money Magazine’s #6 ranking of Fort Collins:
That’s a quote from Money Magazine. People are noticing.
It’s strictry robocall and it went on and on, finally I just hung up. I found their screens pretty primitive and suggest that poor screening accounts for a lot of their sample error.
🙂
I think I’ll weight that times four.
policy director Mac Zimmerman
political director Dustin Zvonek
regional director T.Q. Houlton
http://www.coloradoan.com/article/20100717/UPDATES01/100717002/3+key+McInnis+campaign+staffers+resign+
Zimmerman, Zvonek and Houlton are all ex-Tancredo staffers.
Run, Tom, Run!
Tan! Cray! DO!

Yes, we TAN!
You white people and your need to tan….
In order to cancel your subscription to the MSNBC of newspapers, yes the Denver Post call 303-954-2756.
I cancelled my seven year subscription today. I have helped nudge others to do so.
As Singleton spends the time to King Hick he must pay for it in subscriptions.
No reasonable R should read his crap.
Dinky Singleton is still conservative. But, as the owner of a LARGE business he wants to back the winning horse.
It matters not whether the politician is a Democrat or a Republican. All that matters is that they continue the status quo. That is the definition of a true conservative.
Dinky sees Hick as the winner and is currying favor.
Because of the political views of the owner? So business owner should be opinion less drones?
Singleton forced the endorsement of Bush over Kerry in 2004. If you’re looking for liberal media bias you won’t find it in Singleton. I’m sure he’d love to be able to endorse McInnis except for the fact that McInnis has made it impossible for anyone who wishes to ever be taken seriously again to do so. In case you haven’t noticed, nobody who is anybody in Colorado Republican politics is supporting McInnis at this point. Or Maes, for that matter.
Why stop at canceling your subscription? Why not vow to never vote for any R who is giving aid and comfort to Dems by failing to support McInnis? Or why not cancel over the Post’s pissy threats to ColPols? At least that would make sense.
Chuck Plunkett endorsed John McCain….after first endorsing Hillary Clinton.
So – there could be room for the fact challenged, wooden Plunkett to scrape it together for McInnis.
Should have endorsed the cheat and liar or the broke grafter?
he was desperately trying to kick Hickenlooper. by comparing Hickenlooper’s refusal reveal Hick’s charitable contributions. With Mcinnis’s refusal to disclose ANY Tax returns. “yes Hickenlooper disclosed 20 some odd years of Returns. compared to Mcinnis none… but who received all those donations from Hick?”
Seemes to those of us linked to reality Singleton Really really WANTS to endorse Mcinnis but Mcinnis is too shady for the posts endorsement. to retain the papers shred of credibility he must stay away from Mcinnis.
Singleton also hinted the Post might not endorse anyone.

With five days worth of front page blather…
Come on you egghead, get real

The press has skipped this part of the story. McInnis claims to be a water expert. He is from Glenwood Springs. The idea that he did not know about Rolly’s departure is rediculous. Rolly’s soga was front page news in the Daily Sentinel for months in the Daily Sentinel.
For those who do not know, Rolly Fisher was the Chips Berry of Colorado Water prior to Chips arriving at Denver Water.
Why would McInnis make such a claim? This is pathological. This is the greatest naked moment any politician has ever had.
Delusional sociopath? Just a wild guess.
of television journalism.
In the 7NEWS story cited by Pols above, “the investigator” quotes himself:
This is not to detract from the fine work Ferrugia has done reporting this story, especially getting the interview with Fischer. But c’mon.
can be as egotistical as politicians.
but Maes will win in a landslide. This is nothing but a death spiral for McInnis. And Maes is a hard worker; he may just beat Hick too.
Good one! If Maes beats McInnis, well, that’s a reflection on the effectivity of the media in reporting McInnis’ plagiarism story, not any reflection on Dan Maes.
As to the general election? Dan Maes has not raised any money. He’s squandered the little money he has raised. If we were talking a state house race with this scandal and Maes’ fundraising numbers, I’d give him a strong “maybe.” But in the general election, against a popular elected official, rather, the most popular elected official in the state? Nope. Governor Maes, we have not. Nobody’s heard of him in the Republican party, let alone the entire State. And no outside groups will donate to Maes or go on the air in support of him. You see, the “interest groups” have no interest wasting money on an unelected, unknown candidate who has demonstrated an inability to take a race seriously in a primary.
I’m sorry, but no matter how hard he works, Colorado won’t have a Governor Maes for several years, if ever.
I highly recommend it. Just look away.
He drove across the state every day for a year judging from his ‘mileage’ reimbursement.
Do the math.
I believe writing is hard work.
I know good writing is hard work.
Good comedy writing is very hard work. Thanks for that.
But I enjoyed it
I have been listening and the majority of the talk show hosts on the “conservative” public airwave local shows were calling for McInnis to step down, after initially supporting him. However, there is a two-way going on.
A lot of republicans are calling in to the shows to vent. Most callers which I have heard are pro-McInnis….and I hasten to add that this is just a spot listening and I could be wrong. But in time of party crisis, it is really valuable for the party to have this media venue. Party leaders can get a feel for grass root support among party members. Also, it is an opportunity for a beleaguered candidate to mount a comeback campaign by having supporters call in and support. Again, I don’t know if the call-ins were organized. But what I found interesting was that some callers were giving back to the hosts the same rationales which the conservative hosts have been spouting ie. the Denver Post is leftist and is out to get McInnis and McInnis is the object of a left wing smear campaign, etc.
At one point, I think I heard Caldera say “Why is everyone mad at me?”
We are finally getting the Fairness Doctrine on local radio…..but only among republicans. From time to time, however, the host will grab control and redirect everyone’s anger toward Hickenlooper…..so at least the dems get a mention….then it is back to backing McInnis.
and are now finding their base won’t follow them when they turn on a dime. I’m sure that’s why Rush Limbaugh never does. If he was a local radio guy, you can bet he’d just stick with bashing all and any critics of McInnis. He knows his audience and knows what he gets paid the big bucks for.
It will be interesting to see what the take is tomorrow….since McInnis is evidently not going anywhere.
