With the eyes of the country on western Colorado this weekend, those opposed to President Obama’s far-reaching health care proposals had the chance to see Senator Josh Penry pen a column in the Daily Sentinel opposite Governor Ritter’s.  They heard from Penry at the opposition rally in Lincoln Park on Saturday.  They know where he stands on the issue.  

As for the other guy running for governor, this letter from the Grand Junction Free Press seems to sum up the frustration amongst the base:

Where was Scott on Saturday?

GRAND JUNCTION

After attending this week’s festivities and events where President Barack Obama’s health care plan was the center of conversation, there was one person who was noticeably absent. Scott McInnis.

He is a candidate for governor and I have no idea where he stands on the federal debate. Josh Penry wrote a column and spoke at a rally. I saw most of our state and local legislators there, too. But no McInnis. And maybe that was part of the problem with the Republican Party that Scott helped lead over the last few years.

When the stakes are highest and when the ship of state was veering off course, they were no where to be found. I don’t want a dog catcher like that, much less a governor.

To be fair, it’s possible that he was participating in an intensive therapy session after his melt down on KHOW.
