Ken Buck or Jane Norton. I voted Buck because he’s doing some pretty impressive fundraising but if Norton has the Party behind her, I think she’ll end up the nominee.
Llike Schaffer winning the assembly in ’04, then Coors winning the primary.
If he can motivate the GOP grassroots, then he could end up being a formidable candidate. If not, then Norton will probably be the nominee.
please post them here.
ps – I’ve asked Jane Norton for an interview. They are “getting back to me.”
Cleve’s a good guy. But he doesn’t have a prayer.
I think Jane Norton is going to win the nomination, but even though people seem to prefer Buck over Frazier at the moment, I think Frazier has a better chance of overtaking Norton.
I still can’t decide who I WANT to win the nomination though…they’re all doing the typical early-stage primary thing. Talk up all your conservative credentials, but don’t take a stand on anything that might cause trouble with your base.
he might have a chance at the convention to sweep the floor. But he has to do better then well.
I think you guys underestimate Ryan Frazier. He has a compelling case, a convincing persona and isn’t carrying the “insider” tag burdening Jane Norton.
I predict he will do very well in the primary and may well win the nomination. Norton isn’t that popular with the conservative wing of the GOP and Frazier is a stronger candidate, in my view, than Buck.
If Frazier is nominated, he’ll put up a tough fight, too.
…put together. But he’s a city councilman…just like the rest of the leading candidates he has not voting history we can pick through to determine how he might vote in the Senate.
Kind of like Michael Bennet before he got appointed…it just doesn’t make sense to commit to someone who’s a question mark, unless the alternative is almost certainly worse.
that’s probably as relevant as Romanoff’s. He championed adding domestic partnerships for same-sex couples for Aurora city employees, for instance.
Norton’s voting record is more than 20 years out of date, and Buck doesn’t have one at all. Are you suggesting Wiens is the only Republican who isn’t “a question mark”?
…but yes, I think the top three are all question marks.
That push by Frazier doesn’t bother me at all. In fact it makes me feel better about his chance to win a general by picking up some extra independents and disaffected Democrats.
Norton’s history makes me a little worried, especially her endorsement of Referendum C. That was a compromise, but not a smart one.
At least we know Buck is tough on immigration!
Frazier supporters don’t see that as a problem in a GOP primary?
Don’t get me wrong. That’s great for him in a general election campaign, but he has to get past the wing nuts in the primary before he gets to the general.
In 2000, state Reps Matha Kreutz and Gary McPherson in Arapahoe County were running for state Senate seats. Both were accused of supporting the “radical homosexual agenda” by the right wingers (IIRC, they each had the audacity to vote in favor a hate crimes bill sponsored by Ken Chloeber which included sexual orientation as a protected class) via anonymous mailings. Both lost their respective primaries.
Ryan Frazier did something morally right and decent in supporting Aurora’s D.P. ordinance. For that he will be punished by the right wingers.
He does, but that and $2.16 will get him a Venti-sized cup of Pike at Starbucks.
…Jane Norton, they’ll take Norton. Between him and Ken Buck, they’ll take Buck. But between the three of them, I think Frazier has a better shot than Buck to stand out and be a real dark horse candidate to beat out Norton.
but he seems to have mostly disappeared. We’ll see with the upcoming fundraising numbers. But if they remain low and he continues to stay out of the press & blogosphere, then there really isn’t a campaign.
…but he gets around. He’s at every event he can possibly make. Which is what he needs to do if he wants any shot. But he should hire a press secretary who knows what they’re doing, and stat!
Snow White?
