Ganahl Announcing Lite Gov Monday, For Real This Time She Says

That’s the word from Matt Connelly’s Republican agit-prop website Campfire Colorado–more than a week after GOP gubernatorial candidate Hiedi Heidi Ganahl’s originally scheduled announcement of her pick for lieutenant governor last Thursday crashed and burned, with apparent first choice Las Animas County Commissioner Felix Lopez catching a case of much too publicly cold feet, another trademark Heidi Ganahl do-over is allegedly in the offing for Monday:

There is speculation that Lopez will still be Ganahl’s choice, even though that would mean the campaign straight-up lied to the Colorado Springs Gazette while managing the fallout last week when they said flatly that Lopez would not be the pick. This falsehood was mostly exposed by 9NEWS last Friday, when Lopez faked bad reception rather than answer whether he had said yes or no. Keep in mind that Ganahl hyped her LG pick with descriptors that fit Felix Lopez for a week before the abortive announcement–making it pretty clear that Lopez is who they wanted.

Either Ganahl lied to the press, which is very bad, or Ganahl is announcing a pick who wasn’t her first choice.

Which is very bad.

Either way, it’s the latest example of Ganahl creating her own stumbling blocks to trip on.
