Troy Eid: The Man Who Will Float His Name for ANYTHING

Good ol’ Troy Eid is back in the news, saying he’s definitely, really, seriously going to run for some sort of political office. He’s like the Republican Bernie Buescher, though much less-respected.

U.S. Attorney for Colorado Troy Eid said he plans to run for office, although he hasn’t decided which one, while Attorney General John Suthers announced he’ll seek Ken Salazar’s seat in the U.S. Senate.

“Both parties seem to be frozen in the past. They keep running the same people,” Eid said.

He called himself an outsider who could work with people in either party and said he is “the most centrist person I know.”

Wow. Somebody is pretty impressed with themselves.

Eid, if you’ll recall, has threatened to run for office more times than Scott McInnis. But at least McInnis has actually discussed running for a specific office. Even worse than the Rocky article above is this piece in The Denver Post:

Colorado’s attorney general and U.S. attorney, both Republicans, signaled their interest Wednesday in the Senate seat soon to be vacated by new Obama appointee Ken Salazar.

The state’s top lawyers aren’t candidates for an appointment this year, but they have set their sights on a 2010 race thought too difficult for Republican challengers until the popular Salazar’s departure.

State Attorney General John Suthers and U.S. Attorney Troy Eid feel confident that they could knock out any of the top Democratic candidates for the seat now being considered by Gov. Bill Ritter…

…Eid, likely to resign his post with the entrance of the Obama administration, also expressed interest in a run for governor or possibly the 7th Congressional District, depending on how the next few weeks play out.

Eid is infamous for telling people that he’s going to run for office – any office – and these articles again just makes him look like a boob. Just so we’re clear: Eid would be interested in running for Governor. Or Senate. Or CD-7. Or PTA President.
